"μύραινα" meaning in All languages combined

See μύραινα on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /my̌ː.rai̯.na/, /ˈmy.rɛ.na/, /ˈmi.re.na/, /my̌ː.rai̯.na/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmy.rɛ.na/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmy.rɛ.na/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmy.re.na/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmi.re.na/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally connected with σμύρις (smúris, “emery powder”) and with words for 'grease, fat', like Proto-Germanic *smerwą (“grease”), which would fit the eel as a fat creature. However, this does not explain the long "ῡ". According to Beekes, names of fish are often Pre-Greek and the suffix -αινᾰ (-aina) is well-known in such words.
