[13] ἀελλής seems to be the same word as “ἀολλέες”, dense, lit. crowded together, root “ϝελ” of “ϝέλλω, ϝειλέω”, etc., the variation of stem being similar to that between “ἀϊκῶς” and “ἀεικής” (H. G. § 125), doubtless affected by the analogy of the subst. “ἄελλα”. The reading “κονισάλου” attributed to Aph.seems to imply that he read also “ἄελλα” for “ἀελλής”.
