Αἴθουσα

Notes

1. For this headword -- actually the present participle, feminine nominative singular, of ai)/qw (alphaiota 140) -- see generally LSJ s.v.; it thus conveys the idea of a part of the (Homeric) house designed to catch the sun and so be illuminated.
   Adler cites the scholia to Homer, Iliad 6.243, where ai)qou/sh|si occurs (see web address 1), and Hesychius s.v. ai)qou/sh|, quoted from Iliad 9.472.
