"ὀρείχαλκος" meaning in All languages combined

See ὀρείχαλκος on Wiktionary

Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /o.rěː.kʰal.kos/, /oˈri.xal.kos/, /oˈri.xal.kos/, /o.rěː.kʰal.kos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /oˈri.kʰal.kos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /oˈri.xal.kos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /oˈri.xal.kos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /oˈri.xal.kos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Looks like the dative singular of ὄρος (óros, “mountain”) + χαλκός (khalkós, “copper”), however the same way Latin has connected the first part as aurīchalcum to aurum (“gold”) this is also a folk-etymology and the first part is rather Akkadian 𒍏 (URUD /⁠ēru, wēru⁠/, “copper”), making a tautological compound.
