In many words and dialects there are none. [466] _De quor. Graec. opinat._ cap. iii.-viii. [467] Zenob. _Cent._ III. 3. Suidas s.v. Γελλοῦς παιδοφιλωτέρα (a proverb). Hesych. s.v. Γελλώ. [468] The date is approximate only; for the authorship of the work in question is, I understand, disputed. [469] This is merely a Latinised plural form; the Greek plural regularly ends in -δες. [470] This word is recorded as still in use by Wachsmuth, _Das alte Griechenland im Neuen_, p. 78. [471] _op. cit._ cap. viii. [472] Cf. above, p. 174, where however the accent is given as belonging to the first syllable. The actual spelling in Allatius is Μωρρᾷ. The word in form Μορῆ also occurs in conjunction with the mention of Striges and Geloudes in a MS. of νομοκανόνες obtained by Dr W. H. D. Rouse. See _Folklore_, vol. X. no. 2, p. 151. [473] Probably from Low Latin ‘_burdo_’ = _milvus_, a kite.
