    aura, ae ( gen. sing. aurāï, Verg. A. 6, 747; v. Neue, Formenl. I. p. 11; also, auras, like familias, custodias, terras, etc.; Servius gives this in Verg. A. 11, 801; still all the MSS. give aurae, and so Rib.), f., = aura [AÔ, auô, to blow].
    I.
    The air, as in gentle motion, a gentle breeze, a breath of air (syn.:

    aër, ventus, spiritus): agitatus aër auram facit,

    Isid. Orig. 13, 11, 17: semper aër spiritu aliquo movetur;

    frequentius tamen auras quam ventos habet,

    Plin. Ep. 5, 6, 5:

    flatus, qui non aura, non procella, sed venti sunt,

    Plin. 2, 45, 45, § 116:

    et me... nunc omnes terrent aurae,

    now every breeze terrifies me, Verg. A. 2, 728:

    Concutiat tenerum quaelibet aura,

    Ov. A. A. 2, 650.— Hence,

    Vulg. Gen. 3, 8:

    Hor. C. 1, 5, 11:
