Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Unclear Metalinguistic	“Gabii: a city of the Latins. The ethnic name is Gabitai; Gabious is also possible, as Dionysius says in Book 4 of the Roman Antiquities; both forms [are used].” The entry gives the place and its gentilics, but does not explain the origin of the name Gabii.
