[197] πηγεσιμάλλωι, thick-fleeced; cf. “πηγός” of horses and waves, 9.124, Od. 5.388. The formation of the word is hard to explain; the analogy of “τανυσίπτερος, ἑλκεσίπεπλος, ταμεσίχροος, ἀερσίποδες”, and many others, shews that it must be derived from the verb-stem “πηγ-”, not from “πηγός” (cf., however, “Πρωτεσίλαος”). H. G. § 124 c.
