[86] σιγαλόεντι. This word is usually referred to “σίαλος”, ‘fat,’ on the analogy of “λιπαρός”, the dropping of the “γ” being compared with “ἰών”, the Boeotian form of “ἐγών”, and “ὀλίος” for “ὀλίγος” in the Tarentine dialect. (See Curtius, 541.) Others connect the word with a root “γαλ”=‘shine,’ with an intensive prefix “σι”. So Düntzer ad loc.
