κᾱλοῦ (kāloû) (Homeric, poetic)

  1. masculine/neuter genitive singular of κᾱλός (kālós, beautiful, lovely; beauteous, fair, good, fine; admirable, honorable, noble; moral, virtuous)

κᾰλοῦ (kaloû) (Attic, Koine)

  1. masculine/neuter genitive singular of κᾰλός (kalós, beautiful, lovely; beauteous, fair, good, fine; admirable, honorable, noble; moral, virtuous)
  1. ^ The /α/ is short by nature, but because the word was originally καλϝοῦ (kalwoû), the first syllable scans as heavy in Homer.
