can the genitive of χρεως be χρεως?

I have a very hard time believing this but in the CGL there are four nouns where the genitive is the same as the nominative.

χρέος χρέους , ep. χρεῖος χρείους , Att. χρέως χρέως n.

αἰδώς οῦς , Aeol. αἴδως ως f.

ἥρως ωος ( Att. ω , perh. also ep. ως ) m.

Here it's hidden between ** **:

Ἠώς Ἠοῦς Ion.f. also Ἀ̄ώς Ἀ̄οῦς ( also Ἀ̄όος Pi. ) dial.f. also Αὔως Αὔοος ( also **ως** ) Aeol.f.

Is this like for real?

Aeolic first declension masculine nominative singular ending in αις

The CGL has Αἰολίδαις as nominative singular, in Attic it would be Αἰολίδης. In that dictionary that is the only time they list αις as nominative singular in the first declension masculine ending in ης. Here it is attested in Alcaeus: καὶ γὰρ Σίσυφος **Αἰολίδαις** βασίλευς ἔφα ἄνδρων πλεῖστα νοησάμενος θανάτω κρέτην -- does anyone know of another time that a nominative singular in Aeolic ends in αις? If not, maybe it would be better to amend it to Αἰολίδας

why is the same entry listed twice in this dictionary

Does anyone know why ἠγώνισμαι is listed twice as a middle-passive perfect? This is not just an isolated incident, it happens elsewhere in the dictionary, which is the CGL. It cannot be the case that the first word is passive in form but middle in meaning because if it were the case the CGL would explicitly state that because they do that elsewhere.
