"κύκνος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κύκνος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ký.knos/, /ˈcy.knos/, /ˈci.knos/, /ký.knos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈky.knos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈcy.knos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈcy.knos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈci.knos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European *ḱewk- (“white”), with cognates including Sanskrit शोचति (śócati) and शुक्र (śukrá), and possibly Old Norse Hǿnir (“god associated with swans and storks”). Could also be onomatopoeic from the sound of the swan's call (compare Russian кы-кы (ky-ky, “cry of a swan”)).
