But you can’t pick up a phone? 😃 Sorry to stay off topic, but Chad, you really need to post your own updated monolingual scholia on the Ajax. I bet Ἀμλάος would enjoy them as much as I did. ---

I’ve seen what he has posted here, and I think they’re great! I’d do some of my own if I had more paper editions of texts (though I have recently acquired a nice volume of both the Iliad and Odyssey for 65 NIS (about $20), though some poor Dutch schoolboy has already written some puzzled scholia in his own language in it…). ---

In this week’s monolingual Μῦθοι Αἰσώπειοι from Bedwere, στρεβλός was new to me. Varino gives, among other glosses, φαῦλος, διεστραμμένος, and πανοῦργος. (the latter two, but not the first, are also in LSK. Caruso does not have an entry for the word.) I can’t speak for others, but for me, reading Varino without any code switching into L1 did in fact hook me into the “constantly reinforcing feedback loop” that Chad references above. Bedwere’s and Chambry’s L2 paraphrases of the fable increased this effect. Any L1 resource, however good, (for example, LSJ) might give me a more precise understanding of the meaning of the original, but it would break the loop. It might even deactivate that part of your brain which is presumably only activated when one remains in L2. That’s the trade-off. @Amplaos: How is the transcription going? ---

Combining Favorino with Caruso, LSK and Bedwere’s illustrations, for πίθος one might come up with something like this: πίθος, ου ὁ - - ἄγγος μέγα πήλινον ἐν ᾧ οἶνος σῴζεται. (Καρύσο) τὸ οἰνηρὸν ἀγγεῖον. (Φαβορίνο) πρβλ. ἀμφορεύς. (Λ.Σ.Κ.) ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Pithos_Louvre_CA4523.jpg/398px-Pithos_Louvre_CA4523.jpg) ---

Maybe transcription on demand makes more sense. Can you do ἀπολαύω?
