- air-wandering
Meaning
The stars are air-wandering while overseeing seven luminous zones at VII.8. The compound describes their movement through the upper expanse and works beside the more stationary-sounding act of oversight. It does not specify whether the passage means fixed stars, planets, or a modern astronomical classification.
