ArchivesRe: does Iridia mean Iris
in reply to a message by thegriffon
I was thinking more along the lines of -ess [Contessa] (which implies woman or wife) or -ine [Geraldine] (which implies wife or daughter).
Irid- is genitive, not nominative. If "woman" is only implied, it still means "of Iris" or "rainbow one," depending on the Iris/iris context.
It is like the difference between Julus & Julius / Julia.
"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth." Ps. 127:4
