κτενίζεσθαι τὰς κόμας - comb one's hair

Post by Stephen Hughes »

Does anyone have a better suggestion for these daily activities:
κτενίζεσθαι τὰς κόμας - comb one's hair (κτενίζομαι τὰς κόμας μου)
ἐκτενισμένος - with one's hair combed

[My starting point for κτενίζεσθαι was Το Κινεζοελληνικό Λεζικό Μου με Εικόνες. 汉语图解词典(希腊语版)Beijing, The Commercial Press, 2010. (ISBN 978-7-100-06985-4), a Chinese-Greek picture dictionary covering many aspects of life in general and life in China in particular, Published by the Commercial Press.]

Also useful in the mornings:
ξυρόν - razor
ξυροῦμαι - I shave myself
ἐξυρημένος - shaved
Γελᾷ δ' ὁ μωρός, κἄν τι μὴ γέλοιον ᾖ
(Menander, Γνῶμαι μονόστιχοι 108)
