† nepheliadn.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements. Etymons: Greek νεϕέλη , -i- connective, -ad suffix¹.

Etymology: < ancient Greek νεϕέλη cloud (see nephelo- comb. form) + -i- connective + -ad suffix¹ (compare -iad comb. form), after dryad n., naiad n., oread n., etc. Compare limnad n., Napaead n., both also coined by Hunt. N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (nefī·liăd) /nɛˈfiːlɪəd/.

Obsolete.

A cloud nymph.
