"κοντός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κοντός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /kon.tós/, /konˈtos/, /konˈdos/, /kon.tós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /konˈtos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /konˈtos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /konˈtos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /konˈdos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Both senses are cognates to κεντέω, -ῶ (kentéō, -ô, “prick”), κέντρον (kéntron, “centre”). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱent- with grade κοντ‑ from κεντ‑. * Hellenistic Koine sense short derived from the ancient sense κοντός (“pole”) which referred to shorter kinds of spears, poles, hence the sense shortness. Compare κοντοφόρος (kontophóros, “carrying a (short) pole”) in contrast to δορῠφόρος (doruphóros, “carrying a (long) spear”). Not related to ἀκόντιον (akóntion, “javelin”).
