[281] ἠλασκάζων, apparently conn. with “ἀλά-ω” and perhaps “ἠλεός, ἠλίθεος”, wandering aimlessly about. Cf. note on 15.128. The word recurs only Od. 9.457, in a different sense; but cf. “ἠλάσκω” 2.470, 13.104. The suffix -“άζειν” seems often to convey an unfavourable or contemptuous meaning; cf. “μιμν-άζω, ῥιπτ-άζω, οἰνοποτ-άζω, πτωσκ-άζω” (Monro on Od. 13.9).
