From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Adar
      large, the sixth month of the civil and the twelfth of the
      ecclesiastical year of the Jews (Esther 3:7, 13; 8:12; 9:1, 15,
      17, 19, 21). It included the days extending from the new moon of
      our March to the new moon of April. The name was first used
      after the Captivity. When the season was backward, and the lambs
      not yet of a paschal size, or the barley not forward enough for
      abib, then a month called Veadar, i.e., a second Adar, was
      intercalated.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Addar
      ample, splendid, son of Bela (1 Chr. 8:3); called also "Ard"
      (Gen. 46:21)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Adder
      (Ps. 140:3; Rom. 3:13, "asp") is the rendering of, (1.) Akshub
      ("coiling" or "lying in wait"), properly an asp or viper, found
      only in this passage. (2.) Pethen ("twisting"), a viper or
      venomous serpent identified with the cobra (Naja haje) (Ps.
      58:4; 91:13); elsewhere "asp." (3.) Tziphoni ("hissing") (Prov.
      23:32); elsewhere rendered "cockatrice," Isa. 11:8; 14:29; 59:5;
      Jer. 8:17, as it is here in the margin of the Authorized
      Version. The Revised Version has "basilisk." This may have been
      the yellow viper, the Daboia xanthina, the largest and most
      dangerous of the vipers of Palestine. (4.) Shephiphon
      ("creeping"), occurring only in Gen. 49:17, the small speckled
      venomous snake, the "horned snake," or cerastes. Dan is compared
      to this serpent, which springs from its hiding-place on the
      passer-by.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Adore
      to worship; to express reverence and homage. The forms of
      adoration among the Jews were putting off the shoes (Ex. 3:5;
      Josh. 5:15), and prostration (Gen. 17:3; Ps. 95:6; Isa. 44:15,
      17, 19; 46:6). To "kiss the Son" in Ps. 2:12 is to adore and
      worship him. (See Dan. 3:5, 6.) The word itself does not occur
      in Scripture.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Adria
      (Acts 27:27; R.V., "the sea of Adria"), the Adriatic Sea,
      including in Paul's time the whole of the Mediterranean lying
      between Crete and Sicily. It is the modern Gulf of Venice, the
      _Mare Superum_ of the Romans, as distinguished from the _Mare
      Inferum_ or Tyrrhenian Sea.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ater
      shut; lame. (1.) Ezra 2:16. (2.) Neh. 10:17. (3.) Ezra 2:42.
