elavo
Έγ', ὦ ταλαίπωρ', αὐτὸς ὧν χρείᾳ πάρει. Τὰ πολλὰ γάρ τοι ῥήματ' ἢ τέρψαντά τι, ἢ δυσχεράναντ', ἢ κατοικτίσαντά πως, παρέσχε φωνὴν τοῖς ἀφωνήτοις τινά –> Wretched brother, tell him what you need. A multitude of words can be pleasurable, burdensome, or they can arouse pity somehow — they give a kind of voice to the voiceless.
Latin > English (Lewis & Short)
ē-lăvo: lāvi, lautum, lōtum, 1, v. a.,
I to wash out or away, to wash clean (very rare; not in the Cic. per.).
I Lit.: elota cerussa, Cels. 6, 6, no. 3: elota oliva, Col. 12, 52, 21.—
II Transf.: elautae ambae sumus opera Neptunia, washed in the sea, wrecked, Plaut. Rud. 3, 3, 37; so, in mari elavare, to wash or bathe in the sea, i. e. to be shipwrecked, ruined, id. ib. 2, 7, 21; 5, 2, 20.— Hence, trop.: nos mare acerrumum: nam in mari repperi, hic elavi bonis, have lost, been stripped of property, id. As. 1, 2, 9 (but Plaut. Trin. 2, 4, 7, the true reading is elutum, Ritschl, Brix).
