Etymologies

Category	Explanation
Morphological Composition	“δαῦλον” = ‘the hairy’ (from δασύ ‘hairy’); the city is described as ‘hairy’/‘bushy’.
Eponym Person	Pausanias says the name comes from the nymph Daulís (Daulidos).
Morphological Composition	From Daulis is formed the ethnicon Δαυλίδιος (Daulidios).
Unclear Metalinguistic	Δαυλίς becomes oxytone (accented); whereas αὖλις in Aeolic dialect is heavy (barytone) — a metalinguistic/dialectal note on forms.
