"δορκάς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See δορκάς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /dor.kás/, /ðorˈkas/, /ðorˈkas/, /dor.kás/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /dorˈkas/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ðorˈkas/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ðorˈkas/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ðorˈkas/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Uncertain. Compare Cornish yorch, Welsh iwrch, which leads to a Proto-Indo-European *yorkos (“roe deer”). However, the δ is unexplained, except perhaps by connection with δέρκομαι (dérkomai, “I see clearly”). Has traditionally been explained as a simple derivative of δέρκομαι (dérkomai), because of their bright eyes.
