"πῦρ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See πῦρ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pŷːr/, /pyr/, /pir/, /pŷːr/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /pyr/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /pyr/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /pyr/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /pir/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *pāwər, from Proto-Indo-European *péh₂wr̥. The noun was changed to a pure R-stem noun; if it retained the oblique N-stem forms of its ancestor, its oblique base would have been *pun- (written *πυν-). Cognates include Old English fȳr (English fire), Old Armenian հուր (hur), Hittite 𒉺𒀪𒄯 (paḫḫur), Tocharian A por, and Tocharian B puwar. Compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀢𐀏𐀺 (pu-ka-wo /⁠pur-kawos⁠/, “fire-kindler”), Etruscan 𐌅𐌄𐌓𐌔𐌄 (verse).
