276.1    An / inequality: Scroggins notes that this echoes the opening of “A”-15: “An / hinny” (Bio 391).

276.3    wind flower: anemone, a widely distributed genus of herbaceous perennials, chiefly the wood anemone; the flowers are showy, readily varying in color and becoming double in cultivation. Etymologically derived from Gk. άνεμώνη, the wind-flower, < άνεμος, the wind (= L. anima, breath, spirit; cf. animus, mind) + -ωνη, fem. Patronymic suffix (CD). See 17.377.3. In Greek mythology the anemone supposedly sprang from the blood of Adonis, beloved of Aphrodite, when he was killed by a wild boar.
