[283] ἔναυλος, a gully, mountain torrent. ἀποέρσηι, see on 6.348, and cf. 329 below. According to the scholia on the latter passage the verb is Kyprian. For the lengthening of the -“ο”- cf. “ἀποϝειπών” 19.35. It is generally considered that “ϝερ” is the strong form of the root of which the weak is “ϝρα” in “ἀπουράς” (“ἀπο-ϝρα-ς”), etc. But the sense sweep so exactly suits the sigmatic forms that it is hard to separate them from Lat. verro (root vers -); in that case “ἀπουράς” must be distinct in origin, as there is a clear difference in meaning.
