IPA: /ás.ky.ron/, /ˈas.cy.ron/, /ˈas.ci.ron/, /ás.ky.ron/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈas.ky.ron/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈas.cy.ron/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈas.cy.ron/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈas.ci.ron/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Furnée, the prothetic vowel points to Pre-Greek origin. On the other hand, Lewy connects the word with Hebrew שחור (shakhór, “black”), because the leaves of this plant have small black dots.
