"φάλλαινα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See φάλλαινα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pʰál.lai̯.na/, /ˈɸal.lɛ.na/, /ˈfa.le.na/, /pʰál.lai̯.na/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpʰal.lɛ.na/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈɸal.lɛ.na/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈfal.le.na/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈfa.le.na/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally derived, according to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“to swell”); see also φαλλός (phallós, “penis, phallus”). However, Beekes considers the word Pre-Greek due to variation between the single and geminate λ in its variant forms.
