Candles in the night; Jewish tales by gentile authors.

Such words are sometimes called gentile names.

The gentile noun has frequently fewer syllables than the adjective, but seldom more, unless derived from some different root.

O sir, there is a perfect geometry in these breeches; you doe not observe the morality of your fancie, nor the gentile play and poize of your Lemon, Orange or Melon: this is gentry.
