Adjective

IPA: /nɛː.pʰá.li.os/, /niˈɸa.li.os/, /niˈfa.li.os/, /nɛː.pʰá.li.os/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ne̝ˈpʰa.li.os/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /niˈɸa.li.os/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /niˈfa.li.os/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /niˈfa.li.os/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From νήφω (nḗphō, “to be sober, to abstain from wine, to be self-controlled”) + -άλιος (-álios). This family of words pertaining to sobriety (including also νήφων m (nḗphōn), νηφαίνω (nēphaínō, verb)) are related to Old Armenian նաւթի (nawtʻi, “fasting”, adjective). Ultimately, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *n-H(H)gʷʰ-ti-o- or from Proto-Indo-European *h₁egʷʰ- (“to drink”) prefixed with the negative particle *n̥-.
