"βασιλεύς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See βασιλεύς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ba.si.lěu̯s/, /βa.siˈleɸs/, /va.siˈlefs/, /ba.si.lěu̯s/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ba.siˈlews/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /βa.siˈleɸs/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /va.siˈlefs/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /va.siˈlefs/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *gʷatiléus, with σ (s) developing by assibilation. Cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀣𐀯𐀩𐀄 (qa-si-re-u), that is, *gʷasileus. Further etymology uncertain. Multiple Indo-European etymologies have been advanced, while Beekes considers it Pre-Greek in origin. Possibly from an Anatolian language (see Lydian 𐤡𐤠𐤯𐤯𐤬𐤳 (pattoš, “king”)), although the Mycenaean (Linear B) evidence points to an original form with initial gʷ. Case-forms show Attic shortening of the original stem βασιληϝ- (basilēw-); see quantitative metathesis.

Multiple Indo-European etymologies have been advanced, while Beekes considers it Pre-Greek in origin. Possibly from an Anatolian language (see Lydian 𐤡𐤠𐤯𐤯𐤬𐤳 (pattoš, “king”)), although the Mycenaean (Linear B) evidence points to an original form with initial gʷ.\nCase-forms show Attic shortening of the original stem βασιληϝ- (basilēw-); see quantitative metathesis.",
