*אִלִּיתָא, (pronunc. and meaning doubtful) Illitha, something supposed to render fire-proof or extinguish the fire. Snh. 108ᵇ יש לנו דבר אחד וא׳ שמה Ar. (ed. וע׳) we have something, its name is Ill. [perhaps to be read דבר אחר a (female) idol]; Yalk. Job 906 עיל׳, Ms. עליונה]. [B. Bath. 73ᵃ ומחינן ליה באלי׳ Ar. Var. s. v. אלתא, ed. אַלּוּתָא, Rashi אַלְוָותָא, Ms. Oxf. ואית לן, אלוותא pl. of אַלָּתָא. The use of the masc. gend. in connection with the word, makes the passage appear spurious.]
