πόρπη
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Neither a reduplicated form from πείρω (peírō, “to pierce”), nor a creation from πόρκης (pórkēs, “ring around the shaft of a spear”) makes sense. Furnée connects πορφίτῳ (porphítōi, “buckle”) and concludes that the word is Pre-Greek on account of the variation π/φ.
