"μελία" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μελία in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /me.lí.aː/, /meˈli.a/, /meˈli.a/, /me.lí.aː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /meˈli.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /meˈli.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /meˈli.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /meˈli.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Likely from Proto-Indo-European *mélit. The old comparison with Lithuanian smelùs (“sand colored”) starts from the grey color of the wood. Perhaps the word is Pre-Greek, in view of the various forms in "-ινος".
