See πορφύρα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /por.pʰý.raː/, /porˈɸy.ra/, /porˈfi.ra/, /por.pʰý.raː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /porˈpʰy.ra/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /porˈɸy.ra/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /porˈfy.ra/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /porˈfi.ra/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from πορφύρω (porphúrō, “I redden”), itself related to φύρω (phúrō, “I mix”), Hittite 𒁍𒊒𒌓 (purut, “mud, soil”), Sanskrit भुरति (bhuráti, “have convulsions, sprawl”). However, Beekes does not dismiss a Pre-Greek origin, in view of the absence of connections in other Indo-European languages.
