ἄντυξ
Appearance
Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unknown. Previously explained as ἀνα- (ana-, “up”) + a root noun belonging to τεύχω (teúkhō, “to make, do”), but this is highly questionable. The word resembles ἄμπυξ (ámpux) and καταῖτυξ (kataîtux), both without etymology.
Pronunciation
[edit]- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /án.tyks/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /ˈan.tyks/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /ˈan.tyks/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /ˈan.tyks/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /ˈan.diks/
Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowel ἄ by adding a macron after it if it is long, or a breve if it is short. By default, Module:grc-pronunciation assumes it is short if unmarked.
