"κήξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κήξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kɛ̌ːks/, /ciks/, /ciks/, /kɛ̌ːks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ke̝ks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ciks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ciks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ciks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Has been compared with bird names like Middle Welsh cuan (“screech-owl”) and other Celtic words, whence Latin cāvannus (“tawny owl”). Within Greek, one also finds forms with internal velar, like καυκαλίας (kaukalías, “kind of bird”), with which are compared Lithuanian kaukȳs (“kind of bird”) and primary verbs like Sanskrit कौति (kauti, “to cry, hum”) and Lithuanian kaūkti (“to howl, moan”). However, according to Beekes, the word is Pre-Greek, in view of the suffix.
