"χαλκός" meaning in Ancient Greek

See χαλκός in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kʰal.kós/, /xalˈkos/, /xalˈkos/, /kʰal.kós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /kʰalˈkos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /xalˈkos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /xalˈkos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /xalˈkos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unknown. Has been compared to Proto-Slavic *želězo (“iron”), Latin ferrum, and Hittite [script needed] (ḫapalki-). Perhaps related to κάλχη (kálkhē, “purple”). Ultimately, Proto-Indo-European origin seems unlikely and the word is probably a borrowing from an eastern substrate. Cognate to Mycenaean Greek 𐀏𐀏𐀩𐀀 (ka-ka-re-a), 𐀏𐀒 (ka-ko, “copper”).
