alpha.75 as wife, she who shares the bed. it is written with an iota with the characteristic of those ending in -ites. for example, citizen.

Aeneas. a proper name. from 'ainos', which means praise, comes Aineas, and by addition of an iota, Aineias. and 'ainos' from 'iaino' (I cheer), I rejoice; it becomes 'iainos', and by dropping the iota, 'ainos'.

But Nymphodorus says these things are called 'aigeai' by the Libyans. the aegis is the weapon of Zeus, wrought by Hephaestus. not, as some say, from the goat Amalthea that nursed Zeus, but from making the whirlings of the winds, moving 'aigides' and 'kataigides' (squalls); and 'aegis' from 'aïssō' (I rush), I dart.
