IPA: /si.ɡy̌ː.nɛːs/, /siˈʝy.nis/, /siˈʝi.nis/, /si.ɡy̌ː.nɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /siˈɡy.ne̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /siˈʝy.nis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /siˈʝy.nis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /siˈʝi.nis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Herodotus and Aristotle, the word is Cyprian, whereas someone else says it's Scythian. The word resembles the ethnonym Σιγύνναι (Sigúnnai), a people of Iranian (Scythian) descent. According to Beekes, due to the presence of alternative forms, the word can be of Pre-Greek origin. The similarity with σιβύνη (sibúnē, “spear”) is only coincidental.
