genres

[Svitlana Kobets]

Well, the spelling was correct.
Here is the information which Alla Nedoresow sent to me:

O.E.D.

'alogy. Obs.

[ad. med.L. alogia, a. Gr. 2koc¬a unreasonableness, f. 4koc-o| unreasonable;
f. 2 priv. + k¾co| reason.]

Absurdity, unreasonableness.

1646 Sir T. Browne Pseud. Ep. 372 The Alogie of this opinion consisteth in
the illation.

Ibid. 113 The error therefore and Alogy in this opinion, is worse then in
the last.

1775 Ash, Alogy (not much used).
