"αἰώρα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See αἰώρα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ai̯.ɔ̌ː.ra/, /ɛˈo.ra/, /eˈo.ra/, /ai̯.ɔ̌ː.ra/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ɛˈo.ra/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ɛˈo.ra/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /eˈo.ra/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /eˈo.ra/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Previously, an iterative verb *ϝαι-ϝωρ-έω (*wai-wōr-éō) was reconstructed, from which this word was a derivation. This type is not accepted anymore. Taillardat assumes a derivation from the root of ἀείρω (aeírō, “to lift, raise up”), with a successive reduplication. However, Beekes finds this uncertain and leaves the etymology open.
