Meaning
Physis is πλοκίη at X.11, between gracious encounter and loving, manifold mingling. “Braided” gives the English image, but literal hair is not specified. LSJ treats the identification with an interweaving epithet as probable. The apparatus attributes πλοκίη to Hermann and reports πλόκη; the exact printed forms are safer guides than silently converting either into a fully settled dictionary normalization.
