I just got the following definition in my Word of the Day email
and wondered if that is where Aeolian got their name: wind blowing
through holes?

eolian: \ee-OH-lee-un\ adjective : borne, deposited, produced, or
eroded by the wind

Example sentence: For her senior project, Erin is studying the effects
of eolian erosion on the desert environment.

Did you know?... When Aeolus blew into town, things really got moving.
He was the Greek god of the winds and the king of the floating island
of Aeolia.  In the Odyssey, Homer claims Aeolus helped Odysseus by
giving him a favorable wind.  Aeolus also gave English speakers a few
terms based on his name, including "eolian" (also spelled "aeolian"),
an adjective often used for wind-sculpted geological features such as
caves and dunes, and "aeolian harp," an instrument that makes music
when the wind blows across its strings.
