"κριός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See κριός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kriː.ós/, /kriˈos/, /kriˈos/, /kriː.ós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kriˈos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /kriˈos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /kriˈos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /kriˈos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Uncertain. Traditionally connected with κέρας (kéras, “horn”). The chickpea meaning possibly relates to Latin cicer (“chickpea”), Old Armenian սիսեռն (siseṙn, “chickpea”). Beekes argues for an original meaning of “curved”, comparing Lithuanian kreivas, Old East Slavic кривъ (krivŭ).
