Cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀽𐁆𐀫 (ze-phu-ro), pointing to Proto-Hellenic *Dzépʰuros. Probably related to ζόφος (zóphos, “darkness, west”), both occasionally connected to Proto-Indo-European *(h₃)yebʰ- (“to cover > to copulate”) (whence οἴφω (oíphō)), though either the reflex of the laryngeal in οἴφω (oíphō) or its loss from ζεφ- (zeph-) would be unexplained. More likely Pre-Greek in view of the suffix -υρ- (-ur-) and distant semantics, though Beekes is unsure.

Of unclear origin. The traditional connection to νέω (néō, “to swim”) is phonologically improbable due to the latter continuing the root Proto-Indo-European *(s)neh₂- (“to flow; to swim”), though similarities with Old Armenian նայ (nay, “wet, fluid”) are notable. Beekes, based on the lack of solid internal derivation, tentatively suggests a Pre-Greek borrowing, perhaps Southern. If the Armenian is related, it may derive from the same substrate continuum.

Traditionally connected to Sanskrit अभ्र (abhrá), Latin imber, and Old Armenian ամբ (amb), but formal derivation from Proto-Indo-European *n̥bʰrós presents several problems. *n̥, *bʰ would be expected to yield ᾰ, φ (a, ph), although Miller's law would explain this. The accent would likely be on the ultima. Possibly related to Mycenaean Greek 𐀃𐀖𐀪𐀍 (o-mi-ri-jo), 𐀃𐀖𐀪𐀍𐀂 (o-mi-ri-jo-i, dat. pl.). Szemerényi assumes a loanword, so it is possibly a Pre-Greek word. Compare Latin Umbri.

grc-decl

ἶριν / ἴρῐδα

Originally with an initial digamma, as *ϝῖρις (*wîris); further origin uncertain. The traditional etymology, from Proto-Indo-European *wih₁-r- (“a twist, thread, cord, wire”) (compare English wire, Swedish vira (“to twist”), Welsh gŵyr (“bent”)), from *weyh₁- (“to turn, twist, weave, plait”), is suspicious on account of the irregular variation between ⟨ε⟩ and ⟨ι⟩ as well as the suffix -ις (-is), -ιδος (-idos). Furthermore, even the derivation of *ϝῖρ- (*wîr-) seems phonetically improbable given the modern reconstruction of the root as *weh₁-y-. Thus, Furnée and Beekes argue for Pre-Greek origin.
