Yea, with absinthe I did occured to me, but was surprised it didnt take it without the e. Astrolab and astrolabe sound completely different, so I cant see how you could forget it.

(Though I typed astrolobe first..)

I tried the other spelling and got it, but Athene should be an accepted alternative spelling.
