[500] γόον, an anomalous form, perhaps an aor. from the noun “γόος”: so possibly “ὅπλεσθαι” to get ready, from “ὅπλον”, and “θέρμετο” grew warm, from “θερμός”: cf. “κτύπε” by “κτυπέω” 8.75; see H. G. § 32. 3. Cf. also the pf. part. “πεφυζότες”, from “φύζα”, and other possible instances, ib. § 26. 5. Others regard it as a mistaken form for “γόων” (“γοάω”) which occurs Od. 10.567. Brandreth reads “γόαν”, and so Fick, who compares “γέλαν” in a lyric fragment (Bergk P. L. fr adesp. 77).
