nicitare

NICITARE
, a Nictare, Vigilare vel palpebras movere, Johanni de Janua : Veiller ou mouvoir la paupiere des yeux, in Glossis Latin. Gall. Sangerman. Nictere, vel Nictare, eidem de Janua, proprie canum est, quoniam bestiarum vestigia insequuntur et acute ganniunt ; unde Cecilius de quodam cane dicit : Bene Nictit oletque. Gl. Isid. : Nictit canis, quum acute gannit. Si vera lectio est Nicere pro Movere dixit Plautus : Emoriere ocyus, si manus Niceris, Quid si manus Nicerim ? Vide Turnebum lib. 24. Adversar. cap. 17.
