S. 1, 2, 184; Manil. 5, 370; Amm. 19, 2) [ala-ire, as comes, eques, etc., acc. to some; but cf. Corss. Ausspr. II. p. 209], adj. and subst. ( poet. and post-Aug. prose).
    I.
    Adj., winged: angues, Pac. ap. Cic. Inv. 1, 19; cf. Mos. Cic. Rep. 3, 9:

    ales avis,

    Cic. N. D. 2, 44 (as transl. of the Gr. aiolos ornis, Arat. Phaen. 275):

    equus,

    i. e. Pegasus, Ov. Am. 3, 12, 24:

    deus,

    Mercury, id. M. 2, 714; so also Stat. Th. 4, 605:

    currus,

    Sen. Med. 1024:

    fama,

    Claud. I. Cons. Stil. 2, 408.—And with a trope common in all languages, quick, fleet, rapid, swift:

    rutili tris ignis et alitis Austri,

    Verg. A. 8, 430:

    passus,

    Ov. M. 10, 587:

    harundo,

    the swift arrow, Prud. Psych. 323.—
    II.
    Subst. com. gen., a fowl, a bird (only of large birds, while volucris includes also insects that fly).
    A.
    Com. gen.:

    Lucr. 6, 822:

    exterrita pennis,

    id. 5, 506:

    Daulias ales = philomela,

    Ov. H. 15, 154:

    exterrita = columba,

    Verg. A. 5, 505. But ales, i.e. aquila, as the bird of Jove, is sometimes masc.:

    fulvus Jovis ales,

    the eagle, id. ib. 12, 247;

    called also: minister fulminis,

    Hor. C. 4, 4, 1:

M. 5, 298, if ales erant is read, ales is collect.; cf. Schneid. Gr. 2, 240; but the sing. seems to be more in accordance with the preceding hominem putat locutum, she supposing that she heard a man, but it was a bird, and Merkel here reads Ales erat.)—
    E.
    In the lang. of augury, alites are birds that gave omens by their flight, as the buteo, sanqualis, aquila, etc. (but oscines, by their voice, as the corvus, cornix, and noctua), Fest. p. 193 (cf. id. p. 3); Cic. N. D. 2, 64, 160:

    tum huc, tum illuc volent alites: tum a dextrā, tum a sinistrā parte canant oscines,

    id. Div. 1, 53, 120; cf. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 6, 6, p. 394; Plin. 10, 19, 22, § 43; Arn. adv. G. 7, 59.—Hence, poet.: ales, augury, omen, sign:

    cum bonā nubit alite,

    Cat. 61, 20:

    malā soluta navis exit alite,

    Hor. Epod. 10, 1:

    secundā alite,

    id. ib. 16, 23.
