"θρῶναξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See θρῶναξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /tʰrɔ̂ː.naks/, /ˈθro.naks/, /ˈθro.naks/, /tʰrɔ̂ː.naks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈtʰro.naks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈθro.naks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈθro.naks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈθro.naks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *dʰreh₁n- (“drone; to murmur”), like English drone and Latin drensō (“to cry (of swans)”). However, Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin, comparing the word with ἀνθρηδών (anthrēdṓn, “hornet”), ἀνθρήνη (anthrḗnē, “bee, wasp”) and τενθρηδών (tenthrēdṓn, “kind of wasp”).
