Etymology Not stated. However, Fauvel makes reference more than once to the absence of eyes, and 'caecus' (Fauvel used the coeca spelling) means blind in Latin. A caecum (plural caeca) is also a blind sac in an intestine, but this is not the usage here. [details]

Etymology Not stated. However, Fauvel makes reference more than once to the absence of eyes, and 'caecus' (Fauvel used the coeca spelling) means blind in Latin. A caecum (plural caeca) is also a blind sac in an intestine, but this is not the usage here. [details]Spelling Fauvel used the spelling coeca. There was no diphthong. The spellings 'coeca' and 'caeca' are regarded as identical for the purposes of homonymy. However, an original spelling as 'coeca' must be retained and cannot be changed to 'caeca' in subsequent works. The Hartman catalogue (p.339) correctly uses the spelling Arabella coeca.
