"ψόα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ψόα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /psó.aː/, /ˈpso.a/, /ˈpso.a/, /psó.aː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈpso.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈpso.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈpso.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈpso.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The word is related to similar words meaning "foxes", like ψειαί (pseiaí), ψίαι (psíai), φοῦαι (phoûai) and φύλλες (phúlles). These variations cannot be all understood in Indo-European terms. The connection with ὀσφῦς (osphûs, “hips or loins”), suggested by Prellwitz, is quite possible. According to Beekes, the word is clearly Pre-Greek.
