单词 euhages
释义

euhageseubagesn.

Etymology: Latin, occurring twice in a passage of Ammianus Marcellinus; the form eubages in one of the places is a scribal error. The better form euhages is evidently due to a misreading of Greek οὐατεῖς , Strabo's spelling of a Gaulish word = Latin vātes prophet; Ammianus must have read εὐαγεῖς , and taken this for the plural of εὐαγής pure, holy. Compare Ovate n.1Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: euˈhages.
Celtic History.
With plural agreement. (See quot.)
ΘΚΠ
society > faith > aspects of faith > spirituality > inspiration or revelation > prophecy > [noun] > person > Celtic
