"γυνή" meaning in Ancient Greek

See γυνή in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡy.nɛ̌ː/, /ʝyˈni/, /ʝiˈni/, /ɡy.nɛ̌ː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ɡyˈne̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ʝyˈni/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ʝyˈni/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ʝiˈni/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *gʷonā. Cognates include Mycenaean Greek 𐀓𐀙𐀊 (ku-na-ja), Sanskrit ग्ना (gnā́), जनि (jáni), Old Armenian կին (kin), and Old English cwēn (English queen). The weak stem is probably from the strong stem suffixed with *-keh₂ (compare μέγᾰς (mégăs)). Compare also Latin mulier for the development of using hypocorisms to refer to women.
