See ἄλφι on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /ál.pʰi/, /ˈal.ɸi/, /ˈal.fi/, /ál.pʰi/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈal.pʰi/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈal.ɸi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈal.fi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈal.fi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: ἄλφῐ [canonical], álphi [romanization]
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *álpʰi, possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂élbʰi(t) (“barley”), thus the original meaning may have been “barley-flour”; this word may itself be derived from the root *h₂elbʰ- (“white”). Compare Proto-Albanian *albi (“barley”) (whence modern Albanian elb) and Proto-Iranian *arpacyaH (“barley”).
