"πέλλα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See πέλλα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pél.la/, /ˈpel.la/, /ˈpe.la/, /pél.la/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpel.la/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈpel.la/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈpel.la/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈpe.la/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The comparison with Latin pēlvis (“bowl, dish”) or Sanskrit पालवी (pālavī, “a kind of vessel”), पारी (pārī, “milk pail”) is unconvincing, and does not lead to an Indo-European reconstruction. Furnée suggests a Pre-Greek origin.

Noun

IPA: /ˈpel.la/, /ˈpe.la/, /ˈpel.la/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈpel.la/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈpel.la/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈpe.la/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: pélla [romanization]
Etymology: Assuming a Pre-Greek form *πελσᾱ (*pelsā), it has been connected with Proto-Germanic *falisaz (“rock, cliff”), Old Irish ail (“crag”) and Sanskrit पाषाण (pāṣāṇa, “rock, stone”). However, the variation *pelso-/*peliso- does not seem Indo-European. The noun could be identical to the Macedonian town Πέλλα (Pélla). Furnée further compares φελλεύς (phelleús, “stony ground”), which points to a Pre-Greek origin.
