Word EVA salchedal
Can the single word salchedal from the Scorpius page (<f73r.5,@Cc> <!11:00>) be salchodae or σαλχαδάη [1] (σαλχοδάης/ σαλχαδάης)?
The word comes from Persian « …sål =annus and chodai = dominus, = κύριος τού ἔτος… » [2] – the Lord of the Year.

From Persian (Pahlavī), this astrological term passed into the Arabic language before being Hellenized in the form σαλχο(α)δάη(ς) in Byzantine texts.[3]
Lord of the Year or Master of Time, χρονοκράτωρ/ chronocrator, is a celestial body that dominates and governs a specific period of life or year. [4]
This term is very suitable, in my opinion, for our page.
