Notes

Wentzel compared Photius' entry for this headword (now nu23 Theodoridis), which has the gloss a)po\ tou= na/ein "from [the verb] na/ein ["to dwell"]."
*nao/s is a Doric, Thessalian, and Hellenistic Greek form: Ionic nho/s, Attic new/s, Lesbian nau=os, Spartan navo/s. Cf. nu 236.
In Byzantine Greek the word can refer to a Christian church building.
