Quote:

Perirrhanterion is a good old pre-Christian Greek word. It was a whisk like utensil for sprinkling water at sacrifices, especially lustral water. It occurs in Herodotus, 5th century BCE. It's parts are two: peri-'around' and rhanterios 'sprinkled'; it's a neuter noun as are many instruments.



so I guess this thing that I found labeled as a perirrhanterium just ain't one.
