"τέρχνος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See τέρχνος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /tér.kʰnos/, /ˈter.xnos/, /ˈter.xnos/, /tér.kʰnos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈter.kʰnos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈter.xnos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈter.xnos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈter.xnos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Formation like ἔρνος (érnos) and κτῆνος (ktênos). Niedermann pleaded for connection with τρέχω (trékhō, “to run”). However, Furnée believes the word is Pre-Greek and compares ταρχάνιον (tarkhánion, “used in burial”), suggesting the use of twigs as offerings. Compare Albanian trikë. Compare Sanskrit दर्हति (darhati, “to grow”).
