Noun

IPA: /pʰéŋ.ɡos/, /ˈɸeŋ.ɡos/, /ˈfeŋ.ɡos/, /pʰéŋ.ɡos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpʰeŋ.ɡos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈɸeŋ.ɡos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈfeŋ.ɡos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈfeŋ.ɡos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Of unknown origin. Traditionally compared with Lithuanian spingiù (“to glitter”), as well as with Old High German funko (“spark”), but this suggestion is impossible in view of the initial stops. Other theories taking the word as a contamination of an unattested *σπέγγος (*spéngos) and φάος (pháos, “light”) are farfetched.
