aetheogamous

Adjective

 * 1)  Of the nature of an aetheogam.

Usage notes

 * Being ultimately derived from the two vowels (alpha-eta: aē), rather than the diphthong  (alpha-iota: ai), the initial ae- of aetheogamous can only properly be written as two separate letters (ae), with a diaeresis atop the e (as ) being optional; the spellings *ætheogamous and *etheogamous are, therefore, erroneous.
