ArchivesRe: Zambelou
in reply to a message by Laslow
If it helps any, I take Ancient Greek and I believe in Modern Greek the masculine genitive (= possessive) case is the same, which means it ends in -ou; so my interpretation is that these names would literally mean "of Zambelos/Rallos/Vieros*", who would be her father.
* These might not be their actual forms, as there are other forms that might take -ou as the genitive case... These are just the most common.
