"σταφυλή" meaning in Ancient Greek

See σταφυλή in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /sta.pʰy.lɛ̌ː/, /sta.ɸyˈli/, /sta.fiˈli/, /sta.pʰy.lɛ̌ː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /sta.pʰyˈle̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /sta.ɸyˈli/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /sta.fyˈli/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /sta.fiˈli/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Though traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *stebʰ- (“to be stiff; post”) (compare Sanskrit स्तम्भ (stambha, “pillar”), Old English stæf (“staff”)) via an assumed intermediate sense “stem”, according to Beekes, the word is clearly Pre-Greek, along with the related στέμφυλα (stémphula, “bunch of (pressed) olives or grapes”) and ἀσταφίς (astaphís, “dried grapes”). It must be noted that the usual Avar word for “grape” is цIибил (cʼibil) and is internally derived in Caucasian.

It must be noted that the usual Avar word for “grape” is цIибил (cʼibil) and is internally derived in Caucasian.",
