PAWAG
The project Poorly Attested Words in
Ancient Greek (PAWAG) has the
aim of setting up a database in the form of
an electronic dictionary that gathers
together words of Ancient Greek that are
either only scantily attested (i.e. with
one or few occurrences), inadequately
(i.e.characterized by some sort of
uncertainty) or in any case
problematically, both from a formal and
semantic point of view.
The project is open to international collaboration and the archive will be drawn up through progressive expansion both in the number of entries and their contents, with gradual correction and updating and elimination of any ghost-word.
The database is available free and offers a scientific tool for scholars in the research on classical world as well as a supplement to the existing dictionaries of ancient Greek (in which satisfactory attention can hardly be paid to the complex field of Poorly Attested Words), in order to make a contribution to future improvement of Greek lexicography.
