"βόθρος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See βόθρος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /bó.tʰros/, /ˈβo.θros/, /ˈvo.θros/, /bó.tʰros/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈbo.tʰros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈβo.θros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈvo.θros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈvo.θros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: This word and the synonymous βόθυνος (bóthunos) have been connected with Lithuanian bedù (“sting, dig”), Latin fodiō (“to dig”) and Middle Welsh bedd (“canal”). In order to explain the discrepancy between Greek β- and Latin f-, dissimilation of Proto-Indo-European *bʰodʰ- to Proto-Hellenic *bodʰ- was assumed, or influence of βαθύς (bathús, “deep, profound”). Beekes prefers to derive the word from Pre-Greek; according to him, even the meaning suggests such origin.
