"Σείριος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Σείριος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /sěː.ri.os/, /ˈsi.ri.os/, /ˈsi.ri.os/, /sěː.ri.os/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈsi.ri.os/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈsi.ri.os/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈsi.ri.os/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈsi.ri.os/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Assuming an original meaning "sparkling, flickering", the word has been connected with σείω (seíō, “to shake”), which is compared to a verb "to be excited, sparkle, gleam" in Sanskrit त्विष् (tviṣ, “brilliance, glitter”), त्वेष (tveṣa, “vehement; brilliant”) and especially Avestan 𐬚𐬡𐬌𐬯𐬭𐬀 (θβisra, “glitter”). The basis for the Greek form would then be *tweys-ro- or *twis-ro-. Furnée compares τίριος (tírios, “Cretan word for summer”); if correct the word could be Pre-Greek.
