"ἶρις" meaning in All languages combined

See ἶρις on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /îː.ris/, /ˈi.ris/, /ˈi.ris/, /îː.ris/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈi.ris/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Originally with an initial digamma, as *ϝῖρις (*wîris); further origin uncertain. The traditional etymology, from Proto-Indo-European *wih₁-r- (“a twist, thread, cord, wire”) (compare English wire, Swedish vira (“to twist”), Welsh gŵyr (“bent”)), from *weyh₁- (“to turn, twist, weave, plait”), is suspicious on account of the irregular variation between ⟨ε⟩ and ⟨ι⟩ as well as the suffix -ις (-is), -ιδος (-idos). Furthermore, even the derivation of *ϝῖρ- (*wîr-) seems phonetically improbable given the modern reconstruction of the root as *weh₁-y-. Thus, Furnée and Beekes argue for Pre-Greek origin.
