Usage notes[edit]

"All usage contradicts the statement of the Grammarians that μαζός (mazós) is the man's breast, μαστός (mastós) the woman's."

Who are 'the Grammarians' for a start (we have no entry for it). Perhaps change to 'all known usage' as more Ancient Greek texts might get discovered. 95.144.169.113 16:04, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe 'the Grammarians' refers to the Alexandrine grammarians. The note is copied directly from LSJ 9, but it's unlikely that their claim had any substance to it. ObsequiousNewt (ἔβαζα|ἐτλέλεσα) 18:59, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
