"φορμός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See φορμός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pʰor.mós/, /ɸorˈmos/, /forˈmos/, /pʰor.mós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /pʰorˈmos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ɸorˈmos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /forˈmos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /forˈmos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unclear. The traditional connection with φέρω (phérō, “to bring”) seems difficult to combine with the varying meanings, which are all connected with the notion of "twining". Schulze therefore connected φάραι (phárai, “to weave, plait”) and φᾶρος (phâros, “piece of cloth”). Gothic 𐌱𐌰𐍂𐌼𐍃 (barms, “lap, bosom”) agrees phonetically with this word, but is also interpreted differently.
