- of Zephyrus; west-wind breezes
Meaning
The feminine plural adjective qualifies the sea-born breezes at LXXXI.1. They are described as belonging to Zephyrus rather than being grammatically identical to a singular male wind. The feminine agreement continues through the hymn’s account of their sweet blowing and helpful passage for ships.
