My Oxford English Dictionary doesn't even list "egilops";
However, it does list "Aegilops", and gives four definitions:
	1) (Med) An ulcer or fistula in the inner angle of the eye;
	2) (Herb) The wild-oat or other grass found as a corn-weed;
	3) (Bot) A genus of grasses, native to the south of Europe;
	4) A species of oak (Quercus aegilops)
It spells it with the A and E fused into one character; I don't know
if they "count" as two or not, since there are also entries where
the A and E are not fused.
