pa-sa-ro | ψαρό(ν) (psaron) | a siccative powder
pa-sa-ro | ψαρό(ς) (psaros) (Doric) | dappled, speckled
pa-sa-ro | ψηρό(ς) (pseros) | dappled, speckled
PY Ta 716 (Scribe 2)
A siccative (L. siccus “dry”) accelerates the drying of oils, especially in paints and varnishes. The application of siccative powder may create a dappled appearance (cf. ξηρός (kseros) “dry”); hence, ψαρός / ψηρός “dappled, speckled”.  However, Palmer [1969:358] believes that pa-sa-ro , ku-ru-so refers to gold-plated rivets, which were used to attach hilts to sword blades [Lorimer 1950:262].  Consequently, ψηρό χρυσό may appear as the “dappled gold” of rivets that may also join a handle to an axe head.
