On the form of this collective word = ";brood"; (Luke 13:34) see Dieterich Untersuchungen, p. 47. A new ex. of the earlier form may be cited from Menandrea p. 81.278 νεοττίαν | χελιδόνων. The Ionic form νοσσιή is found in Herodas vii. 72, and hypocoristic proper names Νοσσίς, Νόσσος, Νοσσώ, are quoted by Boisacq, p. 664. See also Hatzidakis Einl. p. 268.
