aurōra: ae, f. acc. to Curtius, a reduplicated form for ausosa, from Sanscr. ush, to burn; cf. αὔως ηώς, dawn; ἥλιος, the sun; and Etrusc. Usil, the god of the sun; but its idea of brightness, splendor, easily connects it with the same group as aurum; v. aes.

F. 3, 403, and Tithonia, id. ib. 4, 943), and mother of Memnon, Verg. A. 4, 585: Aurora novo cum spargit lumine terras, Lucr. 2, 144; imitated by Verg. l.l.; 9, 459: Iamque rubescebat stellis Aurora fugatis, id. ib. 3, 521; 6, 535; 7, 26: Proxima prospiciet Tithono Aurora relicto, Ov.
