▪ I. † ariel1 Obs.
A word transferred by Wyclif from the Vulgate (after ἀριὴλ of the LXX, ăriēl of the Heb.), rendered by Coverdale and version of 1611 ‘altar.’
(Gesenius would here translate ‘fire-hearth of God,’ after Arab. ari; elsewhere in O.T. the same word occurs as a man's name, and appellation of Jerusalem, where it is taken as = ‘lion of God.’) Ariel in T. Heywood and Milton is the name of an angel, in Shakespeare of ‘an Ayrie spirit’; in Astron. of one of the satellites of Uranus.
