tradition, and on the ground of the resemblance of the name to the 

 various forms of the word am^os, which is still the Mod. Gk. name of 

 the bird : partly also because the other common birds which might be 

 meant (Goldfinch, Greenfinch, and Linnet) are fairly well identified 

 under other names.
