Sorry to double post folks, but in reply specifically to James' question:
BDAG gives the word group as follows (p32-33):
αἰων (the noun) 1. "long period of time without reference to beginning or end" e.g Acts 15:18 or John 6:51 2. "A segment of time as a particular unit of history" e.g. Matt 13:22 or Eph 2:7 3. "the world as a spatial concept" e.g Hb 1:2 or 1 Tim 1:17 3. "Aeon as a person" e.g. Eph 2:2 or Col 1:26
αὠνιος (the adjective) 1. "pertaining to a long period of time" e.g. Rom 16:25 or 2 Tim 1:9 2. "pertaining to a period of time without beginning or end" e.g. Rom 16:26 or Hb 9:14 3. "pertaining to a period of unending duration" e.g. Luke 16:9 or Matt 25:46
(Someone else bought my copy for me, although they say Thayers is almost as good for much less of the price.)
