"ἀχάνη" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἀχάνη in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /a.kʰǎː.nɛː/, /aˈxa.ni/, /aˈxa.ni/, /a.kʰǎː.nɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /aˈkʰa.ne̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /aˈxa.ni/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /aˈxa.ni/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /aˈxa.ni/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Hemmerdinger compares Egyptian hnw (“jar, unit of measure”), while Furnée compares Hittite 𒀀𒂵𒀭𒉌 (a-ga-an-ni /⁠aganni⁠/, “bowl”), Hurrian 𒀀𒂵𒀭𒉌 (a-ga-an-ni /⁠aganni⁠/, “bowl”), which is connected to Akkadian 𒀀𒂵𒉡 (a-ga-nu /⁠agannu⁠/, “large bowl, cauldron”). He also compares ἀγάννα (agánna, “sacred chariot”) and λαχάννα (lakhánna). Perhaps it is from Persian, but according to Beekes no solution can be offered.
