Adverb [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /á.ɡaːn/, /ˈa.ɣan/, /ˈa.ɣan/, /á.ɡaːn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈa.ɡan/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈa.ɣan/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈa.ɣan/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈa.ɣan/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: ᾰ̓́γᾱν [canonical], ắgān [romanization]
Etymology: Per Beekes (Beekes 2010: 8) from the accusative singular *m̥ǵ-éh₂-m of Proto-Indo-European *méǵh₂s (“great”), whence μέγας (mégas). For Beekes this form is important evidence for his hysterodynamic inflection type. The long ᾱ might be from another dialect.
