Historical Definition
Vndæ or Vndenæ are airy and earthy spirits.
Meaning
The historical sentence joins the two qualities. It should not be silently regularised to a dwelling in water merely because a reader associates a similar name with water in another system.
Use in the Book
Terrelati is explicitly described as corporeal spirits living in earth; Sylvestres includes airy men and spirits. The present entry’s own paired qualities remain distinct from those fuller descriptions.
Places to Read
Sylvestres. Names with airy-spirit and gigantic woodland senses.
Terrelati. Bodily spirits associated with residence in earth.
In This Edition
The V forms are retained, with U forms available as editorial search variants. Both named forms lead to the same article.
