"πίθος" meaning in All languages combined

See πίθος on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /pí.tʰos/, /ˈpi.θos/, /ˈpi.θos/, /pí.tʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpi.tʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈpi.θos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈpi.θos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈpi.θos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Like many Greek words for pottery, most likely of Pre-Greek origin, as evidenced by the irregular variations between: * ⟨δ⟩ and ⟨θ⟩, the former as in e.g. πίδος (pídos) * ⟨π⟩ and ⟨φ⟩, as in the derived terms πιθάκνη (pitháknē) ~ φιδάκνη (phidáknē) and πιθάκνιον (pitháknion) ~ φιδάκνιον (phidáknion) * ⟨ι⟩ and ⟨ε⟩, the latter as in Mycenaean Greek 𐀤𐀵 (qe-to). Formerly compared to Old Norse biða (“milk jug/bucket”) and Latin fidēlia (“earthen vessel, pot”), assuming a Proto-Indo-European root *bʰidʰ-. The apparent cognate in Mycenaean Greek, if related, however rules out an initial labial consonant in the source.
