Noun

IPA: /kʰén.ni.on/, /ˈçen.ni.on/, /ˈçe.ni.on/, /kʰén.ni.on/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkʰen.ni.on/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈçen.ni.on/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈçen.ni.on/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈçe.ni.on/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: khénnion [romanization]
Etymology: According to Beekes, from Pre-Greek in view of the similarity with χάννη (khánnē, “comber”). However, Thompson considers a foreign origin, comparing both words with Egyptian [script needed] (chnā, “unknown kind of fish”). Etymology templates: {{der|grc|qsb-grc|-}} Pre-Greek, {{cog|egy||t=unknown kind of fish|tr=chnā}} Egyptian [script needed] (chnā, “unknown kind of fish”) Head templates: {{head|grc|noun}} χέννιον • (khénnion)
  1. Hesychius' gives the definition as: εἶδος ἰχθύος (eîdos ikhthúos, literally “kind of fish”). Categories (lifeform): Fish
