Νύμφα. In Pro/eg. p. 48 Moulton suggests that Νύμφαν, which apparently should be read as a woman’s name in Col 415, is not due to a Doric Νύμφαν, but by a ‘‘ reverse analogy process” the gen. Νύμφης produced the short nom. Nuyda, like δόξα, δόξης. He compares Hipfva in a Christian inscr. C. and B. ii. p. 497 0.5.
