- under-support
Meaning
Aither is the support beneath the stars, Sun and Moon at V.2. Despite the misleading appearance of its first letters, the word denotes a supporting base, not simply something above. The reported alternative concerns a portion rather than a support and therefore changes the cosmic relation.
