λιπαροῖσιν (Β 44): ἀπὸ τοῦ λιπάναι γίνεται λιπαρός. τὰ γὰρ εἰς ναι ἀπαρέμφατα ποιοῦσιν εἰς ρος ὀνόματα ἰσοσυλλαβοῦντα τοῖς ῥήμασι καὶ ἢ τῷ α παραλήγεται ἢ τῷ ε· μιαίνω μιαρός, χλιαίνω χλιαρός, θλιβῆναι θλιβερός, στυγῆναι στυγερός, μυσάναι μυσαρός, τακῆναι τακερός.
Translation (En)
Liparoisi "shiny with oil": from lipanai "to anoint" [aor. of lipainō] comes liparos. For verbs in -nai derive nouns in -ros with the same number of syllables as the verbs, and with in the penultimate either /a/ or /e/ : miainō "to stain", miaros "stained", khliainō "to warm", khliaros "warm", thlibēnai "to chafe", thliberos "chafing", stugēnai "to abhor", stugeros "horrible", *musanai, musaros "dirty", takēnai "to melt", takeros "melting"

Comment
Correct derivational etymology, provided as a parallel to a similar derivation. The series of parallels quoted is in fact heterogenous. As a matter of fact, the first three verbs (λιπῆναι, from λιπαίνω, μιῆναι, from μιαίνω, χλιῆναι, from χλιαίνω) are aorist stems matching present stems having themselves a nasal suffix, but the subsequent ones are aorists matching present stems without any nasal suffix (θλιβῆναι, from θλίβω, τακῆναι, from τήκω, στυγῆναι, from στυγέω). In the first sub-series, the infinitive suffix is not -ναι as in the second sub-series, but -(σ)αι. However, in synchrony, the aorist is in -ναι, and that was enough for Greek grammarians. In the wording of the Epimerisms, the aorist of the first sub-series is replaced by a present, which makes the consistency of the series less clear. The aorist form is found in the Etym. Gudianum and Etym. Magnum, and this probably was the older wording
