[100] ἀκηριοι, spiritless (from “κῆρ”, heart); in 5.812, 817, 13.224 an epithet of “δέος”, in 11.392, 21.466, lifeless. In “ οδ. ἀκήριος” is a different word, harmless. ἀκλεές: neuter used adverbially. Some write “ἀκλέες”, as nom. plur. for “ἀκλεέες” by ‘hyphaeresis’; but there is no good authority for such a form in H., though it is not uncommon in Pindar.
