Category	Explanation
Unclear Metalinguistic	Hypochalcis: a city of Aetolia. The entry identifies the place but does not explain the origin of its name.
Unclear Metalinguistic	Hecataeus, in the work Europe (the passage is missing in Jacoby). This cites a source but provides no etymological explanation of the place-name.
Unclear Metalinguistic	The ethnic name is likewise, in the simple form, Hypochalcidean. This gives the demonym, not the origin or formation of the place-name.
