Apart from the fact that the idea that a word has an essential meaning
is somewhat
perplexing, I think -- if memory serves -- the latest edition of the LSJ

takes into consideration some evidence (of which Butlmann was unaware,
since it was
discovered after he wrote) from the Palatine Anthology that supports the
reading.
