"σιωπή" meaning in Ancient Greek

See σιωπή in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /si.ɔː.pɛ̌ː/, /si.oˈpi/, /si.oˈpi/, /si.ɔː.pɛ̌ː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /si.oˈpe̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /si.oˈpi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /si.oˈpi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /si.oˈpi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Probably of non-Indo-European (Pre-Greek substrate) origin, due to the alternating forms σιωπ- and σωπ-. Superficially resembles σιγή (sigḗ, “silence”), but probably not related; Proto-Germanic *swībaną (“to suspend, stop, finish”) is also likely not related.
