α639Ἀείρωνunspoken… should in fact be neuter. Hesychius (alpha1311) and the Etymologicum Magnum (21.43) gloss a)/eiron (or a)/iron) with a)/rrhton as well as a)qw/peuton: this would suggest derivation from the root *wer- as in e)rw=. See …Matched in noteshighshort
α664Ἀήτηςgale… plural occurs. [2] The equivalent entry, post-Suda, in the Etymologicum Magnum (23.29-31) makes no such remark. Presumably what the Suda means is that a/w) is attested only in the imperfect a)/en: see LSJ s.v. …Matched in noteshighshort
