"σύν" meaning in Ancient Greek

Preposition

IPA: /sýn/, /syn/, /sin/, /sýn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /syn/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /syn/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /syn/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /sin/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: σῠ́ν [canonical], sún [romanization]
Etymology: Apparently from a Proto-Hellenic *ksún, but further connections are uncertain. Younger form of Homeric and Old Attic ξύν (xún), Mycenaean Greek 𐀓𐀱 (ku-su /⁠*ksun⁠/). These probably reflect Proto-Indo-European *som- (“one, together (with)”) contaminated with the *ḱ of *ḱóm (“beside, with”) along with a conflation of their meanings However, the /u/ is unexpected and unexplained under this proposal. Note that a derivation from *som- alone is impossible, since the *s- would be expected to give h- (aspiration); neither is the ks- explainable from *ḱóm alone. This makes its exact relation to Lithuanian sù and Proto-Slavic *sъ(n) dubious, but if indeed a conflation of *ḱóm and *som-, then it's a cognate relation regardless. The dative that this preposition governs continues the PIE comitative-instrumental.

  "etymology_text": "Apparently from a Proto-Hellenic *ksún, but further connections are uncertain. Younger form of Homeric and Old Attic ξύν (xún), Mycenaean Greek 𐀓𐀱 (ku-su /⁠*ksun⁠/). These probably reflect Proto-Indo-European *som- (“one, together (with)”) contaminated with the *ḱ of *ḱóm (“beside, with”) along with a conflation of their meanings However, the /u/ is unexpected and unexplained under this proposal. Note that a derivation from *som- alone is impossible, since the *s- would be expected to give h- (aspiration); neither is the ks- explainable from *ḱóm alone. This makes its exact relation to Lithuanian sù and Proto-Slavic *sъ(n) dubious, but if indeed a conflation of *ḱóm and *som-, then it's a cognate relation regardless.\nThe dative that this preposition governs continues the PIE comitative-instrumental.",
