The gloss is very doubtful regarding its meaning (does it refer to a womans sinus?) and origin (no commentary on its origin). Hoffmann (1906) suggests it is a Thraco-Phrygian loan consisting of ΑΔ- + θήλα "breast". It could be simply Macedonian δ ~ θ. Based on the information available, this word should remain unclassified.
