"φάραγξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See φάραγξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pʰá.raŋks/, /ˈɸa.raŋks/, /ˈfa.raŋks/, /pʰá.raŋks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpʰa.raŋks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈɸa.raŋks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈfa.raŋks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈfa.raŋks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Beekes, from Pre-Greek, like σῆραγξ (sêranx) and φάλαγξ (phálanx). Furnée compares also μάραγοι (máragoi, “overhanging places”) and Spanish barranca (“ravine”). Mark the similar ending in the reconstructed root word for English avalanche, *labanka. But compare the family of Latin forō, feriō and Armenian բերան (beran, “mouth, opening”), all from *bʰerH- (“to pierce, strike”). Compare also Ancient Greek φάρυγξ (phárunx) and Latin frūmen, both possibly from *bʰruHg- (“to use, enjoy”).
