         DefinitionShort: a hybrid formation from Greek and Latin, meaning literally either ‘east wind’ or ‘broad wind’: a strong storm wind blowing from the northeast

         Glosses: a Northeaster

         Comments: It is, of course, possible to use the form Εὐρακύλων as a proper name, but this is probably much less meaningful than employing a term such as ‘strong northeast wind’ or ‘a strong storm coming from the northeast.’ In instances in which languages do not readily and easily distinguish between north and northeast or between east and northeast, it may be satisfactory simply to use a term such as ‘east,’ but frequently one can use a designation for ‘northeast’ such as ‘between the north and the east’ or ‘a little to the north of east.’
