Related ἀλέω (aléō, “to grind”), with the alternative form ἄλεαρ (álear) from earlier ἄλεϝαρ (álewar) showing the connection to Proto-Indo-European *h₂leh₁wr̥, whence also Old Armenian ալիւր (aliwr, “flour”).
ἄλειαρ • (áleiar) n (genitive ἀλείατος); third declension (chiefly in the plural)
Particularly differentiated from ἄλφιτα (álphita, “barley flour, barleymeal”) (see Odyssey quote).
