Adjective

IPA: /a.mau̯.rós/, /a.maˈβros/, /a.maˈvros/, /a.mau̯.rós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /a.mawˈros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /a.maˈβros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /a.maˈvros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /a.maˈvros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Found in late Greek, of uncertain origin, but possibly related to μαυρός (maurós, “dark”). One suggestion is Proto-Indo-European *h₂mr̥-wós, from a root *h₂mer-; compare Latin umbra, Luwian [script needed] (marway(a)-, “rot”). Alternatively, Beekes suggests Pre-Greek origin.
