"Γέτης" meaning in All languages combined

See Γέτης on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /ɡé.tɛːs/, /ˈʝe.tis/, /ˈʝe.tis/, /ɡé.tɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈɡe.te̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈʝe.tis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈʝe.tis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈʝe.tis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Of obscure origin. Due to the heavy Scythian influence (evidently Strabo and Pliny went as far as to call them a Scythian tribe), Isidore of Seville thought that the name was a Greek corruption of Scythia, calling the names "not that much different...with one letter changed and one removed." Compare with Μασσαγέται (Massagétai) and Θυσσαγέται (Thussagétai).
