"φάλαγξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See φάλαγξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pʰá.laŋks/, /ˈɸa.laŋks/, /ˈfa.laŋks/, /pʰá.laŋks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpʰa.laŋks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈɸa.laŋks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈfa.laŋks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈfa.laŋks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally from Proto-Indo-European *bʰelǵ- (“beam, plank”), with cognates such as Latin sufflāmen and Old High German balcho, but regular derivation of φᾰ́λᾰγγ- from this root is phonetically impossible, and the suffix is prototypical of Pre-Greek. Possibly related to φάλκης (phálkēs) via the same substrate source.
