Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /a.lɔ̌ː.pɛːks/, /aˈlo.piks/, /aˈlo.piks/, /a.lɔ̌ː.pɛːks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /aˈlo.pe̝ks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /aˈlo.piks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /aˈlo.piks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /aˈlo.piks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Presumably from earlier Proto-Hellenic *alōpēkos, *alṓpāks. Some linguists have attempted derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₂lōpeh₂s (stem *h₂lop-); compare Old Armenian աղուէս (ałuēs), Lithuanian lãpė, Latvian lapsa and Sanskrit लोपाश (lopāśá). The many irregular variations on the word may suggest a Mediterranean wanderword instead; compare Luwian [script needed] (ulipna-)/[script needed] (walipna-, “wolf”) and Latin vulpēs (“fox”).
