"γρύψ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See γρύψ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡry̌ːps/, /ɣryps/, /ɣrips/, /ɡry̌ːps/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ɡryps/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ɣryps/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ɣryps/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ɣrips/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Uncertain. Commonly linked to γρυπός (grupós, “curved”), which is from Proto-Indo-European *ger- (“to turn, twist, bend, wind”), related to Old English crumb, crump (“bent, crooked”), Old High German krump. Beekes and Klein dismiss an Indo-European origin and instead suggest Pre-Greek; possibly borrowed via Hittite or some other Anatolian medium from a Semitic word related to Akkadian 𒅗𒆕𒁍 (karūbu) and Hebrew כרוב (kerúv), in which case a doublet of χερούβ (kheroúb).
