"ἑλένη" meaning in All languages combined

See ἑλένη on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /he.lé.nɛː/, /eˈle.ni/, /eˈle.ni/, /he.lé.nɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /(h)eˈle.ne̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /eˈle.ni/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /eˈle.ni/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /eˈle.ni/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally connected to εἰλέω (eiléō, “to turn, wind”), which can account for the meaning "torch". However, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin, in view of the similar word ἑλάνη (helánē, “reed bundle”) and the suffix -ένη.
