   Ion \I"on\, n.
      1. One of the electrified particles into which, according to
            the electrolytic dissociation theory, the molecules of
            electrolytes are divided by water and other solvents. An
            ion consists of one or more atoms and carries a unit
            charge of electricity, 3.4 x 10^{-10} electrostatic units,
            or a multiple of this. Those which are positively
            electrified (hydrogen and the metals) are called
            {cations}; negative ions (hydroxyl and acidic atoms or
            groups) are called {anions}.
  
      Note: Thus, hydrochloric acid ({HCl}) dissociates, in aqueous
               solution, into the hydrogen ion, H^{+}, and the
               chlorine ion, Cl^{-}; ferric nitrate, {Fe(NO3)3},
               yields the ferric ion, Fe^{+++}, and nitrate ions,
               NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}, NO3^{-}. When a solution containing
               ions is made part of an electric circuit, the cations
               move toward the cathode, the anions toward the anode.
               This movement is called migration, and the velocity of
               it differs for different kinds of ions. If the
               electromotive force is sufficient, electrolysis ensues:
               cations give up their charge at the cathode and
               separate in metallic form or decompose water, forming
               hydrogen and alkali; similarly, at the anode the
               element of the anion separates, or the metal of the
               anode is dissolved, or decomposition occurs.

            and of high temperatures. To the properties and behavior
            of ions the phenomena of the electric discharge through
            rarefied gases and many other important effects are
            ascribed. At low pressures the negative ions appear to be
            electrons; the positive ions, atoms minus an electron. At

               move toward the cathode, the anions toward the anode.
               This movement is called migration, and the velocity of
               it differs for different kinds of ions. If the
               electromotive force is sufficient, electrolysis ensues:
               cations give up their charge at the cathode and
               separate in metallic form or decompose water, forming
               hydrogen and alkali; similarly, at the anode the
               element of the anion separates, or the metal of the
               anode is dissolved, or decomposition occurs.
  
      2. One of the small electrified particles into which the
            molecules of a gas are broken up under the action of the
            electric current, of ultraviolet and certain other rays,
            and of high temperatures. To the properties and behavior
            of ions the phenomena of the electric discharge through
            rarefied gases and many other important effects are
            ascribed. At low pressures the negative ions appear to be
            electrons; the positive ions, atoms minus an electron. At
            ordinary pressures each ion seems to include also a number
            of attached molecules. Ions may be formed in a gas in
            various ways.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Iim
      ruins. (1.) A city in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:29).
     
         (2.) One of the stations of the Israelites in the wilderness
      (Num. 33:45).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Inn
      in the modern sense, unknown in the East. The khans or
      caravanserais, which correspond to the European inn, are not
      alluded to in the Old Testament. The "inn" mentioned in Ex. 4:24
      was just the halting-place of the caravan. In later times khans
      were erected for the accommodation of travellers. In Luke 2:7
      the word there so rendered denotes a place for loosing the
      beasts of their burdens. It is rendered "guest-chamber" in Mark
      14:14 and Luke 22:11. In Luke 10:34 the word so rendered is
      different. That inn had an "inn-keeper," who attended to the
      wants of travellers.
