[Obs.] --Chaucer. Syn: {Also}, {Likewise}, {Too}. Usage: These words are used by way of transition, in leaving one thought and passing to another. Also is the widest term. It denotes that what follows is all so, or entirely like that which preceded, or may be affirmed with the same truth; as, [bd]If you were there, I was there also;[b8] [bd]If our situation has some discomforts, it has also many sources of enjoyment.[b8] Too is simply less formal and pointed than also; it marks the transition with a lighter touch; as, [bd]I was there too;[b8] [bd]a courtier yet a patriot too.[b8] --Pope.

We may say, [bf] He is a poet, and likewise a musician; ' but we should not say, [bf] He is a prince, and likewise a musician,' because there is no natural connection between these qualities.[b8] This distinction, however, is often disregarded.

Most {command interpreters} (e.g. {Unix}'s {csh}) allow the user to define aliases for commands, e.g. "alias l ls -al". These are loaded into memory when the interpreter starts and are expanded without needing to refer to any file. 2. One of several alternative {hostnames} with the same {Internet address}. E.g. in the {Unix} {hosts} database (/etc/hosts or {NIS} map) the first field on a line is the {Internet address}, the next is the official hostname (the "{canonical} name" or "{CNAME}"), and any others are aliases. Hostname aliases often indicate that the host with that alias provides a particular network service such as {archie}, {finger}, {FTP}, or {World-Wide Web}. The assignment of services to computers can then be changed simply by moving an alias (e.g. www.doc.ic.ac.uk) from one {Internet address} to another, without the clients needing to be aware of the change. 3.

alias 1. A name, usually short and easy to remember and type, that is translated into another name or string, usually long and difficult to remember or type.

These are loaded into memory when the interpreter starts and are expanded without needing to refer to any file. 2. One of several alternative {hostnames} with the same {Internet address}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Aloes (Heb. 'ahalim), a fragrant wood (Num. 24:6; Ps. 45:8; Prov. 7:17; Cant. 4:14), the Aquilaria agallochum of botanists, or, as some suppose, the costly gum or perfume extracted from the wood. It is found in China, Siam, and Northern India, and grows to the height sometimes of 120 feet. This species is of great rarity even in India. There is another and more common species, called by Indians aghil, whence Europeans have given it the name of Lignum aquile, or eagle-wood. Aloewood was used by the Egyptians for embalming dead bodies. Nicodemus brought it (pounded aloe-wood) to embalm the body of Christ (John 19:39); but whether this was the same as that mentioned elsewhere is uncertain. The bitter aloes of the apothecary is the dried juice of the leaves Aloe vulgaris.
