Re: egilops or aegilops

My Oxford English Dictionary gives only the "aegilops" spelling
(the "ae" is a ligature). The (edited) definition follows.

Aegilops (from Greek "herb eaten by goats" + "eye, face"):

1. (Medical). An ulcer or fistula in the inner angle of the eye.
2. (Obsolete). The wild-oat or other grass found as a corn-weed.
3. (Botanical). A genus of grasses, native to the south of Europe.
4. A species of Oak.
