"φολκός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See φολκός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /pʰol.kós/, /ɸolˈkos/, /folˈkos/, /pʰol.kós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /pʰolˈkos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ɸolˈkos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /folˈkos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /folˈkos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: pholkós [romanization]
Etymology: Traditionally supposed to be related to φάλος (phálos, “horn of a helmet”) and connected with Sanskrit ह्वरते (hvarate, “to diverge, to go crooked”). However, Furnée assumes that this word is identical with *βολκός (*bolkós) of Βόλκων (Bólkōn, “name of a Syracusan”); in that case, the variation "φ-/β-" would point to a Pre-Greek origin.
