"ἀκτέα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἀκτέα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ak.té.aː/, /akˈte.a/, /akˈte.a/, /ak.té.aː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /akˈte.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /akˈte.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /akˈte.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /akˈte.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unknown. The suffix -έᾱ (-éā) is frequent in tree names, like ἰτέᾱ (itéā, “willow”) and πτελέᾱ (pteléā, “elm”). Witczak connects the word with Old Armenian հացի (hacʻi, “ash tree”), which he disassociates from ὀξύα (oxúa, “beech”).
