IPA: /pɛː.ne.ló.pɛː/, /pi.neˈlo.pi/, /pi.neˈlo.pi/, /pɛː.ne.ló.pɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /pe̝.neˈlo.pe̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /pi.neˈlo.pi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /pi.neˈlo.pi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /pi.neˈlo.pi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Apparently from πηνέλοψ (pēnélops, “a particolored duck”). The traditional association with πήνη (pḗnē, “thread, bobbin”) and ὤψ (ṓps, “face”) is a folk etymology based on the story of Penelope’s weaving and fails to explain the -ελ-.
