Etymologies

CategoryExplanation
Morphological CompositionThe plural form Ὀαεῖς is said to come from (the word) ὄεις (i.e. 'sheep'), as with many other names.
Morphological CompositionThe demotic (resident name) is said to be Ὄαθεν — and this is from the place itself (i.e., the demotic is formed from the place-name).
