• Etimología: Deriv. en -l- del tema *H2eu- que aparece en ἰαύω q.u.

English (Strong)

from the same as ἀήρ; a yard (as open to the wind); by implication, a mansion: court, (sheep-)fold, hall, palace.

English (Thayer)

αὐλῆς, ἡ (ἄω to blow; hence) properly, a place open to the air (διαπνεόμενος τόπος αὐλή λέγεται, Athen. 5,15, p. 189b.);
1. among the Greeks in Homer s time an uncovered space around the house, enclosed by a wall, in which the stables stood (Homer, Odyssey 9,185; Iliad 4,433); hence, among the Orientals that roofless enclosure in the open country in which flocks were herded at night, a sheepfold: the uncovered court-yard of the house, Hebrew חָצֵר, the Sept. αὐλή, Vulg. atrium. In the O. T. particularly of the courts of the tabernacle and of the temple at Jerusalem; so in the N. T. once: τήν αὐλήν τήν ἔξωθεν ( st ἔσωθεν) τοῦ ναοῦ). The dwellings of the higher classes usually had two αὐλαί, one exterior, between the door and the street, called also προαύλιον (which see); the other interior, surrounded by the buildings of the dwelling itself. The latter is mentioned ἔξω is opposed to the room in which the judges were sitting); Winer s RWB under the word Häuser; (B. D. American edition under the word Smith's Bible Dictionary, Court; BB. DD. under the word <TOPIC:House>).
3. the house itself a palace: Homer, Odyssey 4,74down (cf. Eustathius 1483,39 τῷ τῆς αὐλῆς ὀνόματι τά δώματα δηλοῖ, Suidas Colossians 652c. αὐλή. ἡ τοῦ βασιλέως οἰκία. Yet this sense is denied to the N. T. by Meyer et al.; see Meyer on Matthew , the passage cited).
