Nostoch appears among firmamental fire-signs, while salamandrine and ethnic spirits are listed among apparitions shaped like fire. The supplied edition retains the unusual terms and treats nostoch as an alleged astral product in this tradition. It does not equate the word automatically with a modern biological organism or interpret Ethnici as a factual category of human ethnicity.
