[143] φύξηλιν, a curious word recurring in Greek only in Lykophron and the other imitative pedants. A more correct form would be “φυζηλός” (Hesych.) from “φύζα” like “σιγηλός” from “σιγα-, ἀπατηλός” from “ἀπατα-”, cf. the Homeric “καταριγηλός” from “ῥιγέ-ω. φυζηλόν” is accordingly read by van L. But this misses the sting of the fem. term. -“ις” (“Ἀχαιΐδες, οὐκέτ᾽ Ἀχαιοί”).
