Adjective

IPA: /am.pʰi.ɡy.ɛ̌ː.eːs/, /am.ɸi.ʝyˈi.is/, /am.fi.ʝiˈi.is/, /am.pʰi.ɡy.ɛ̌ː.eːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /am.pʰi.ɡyˈe̝.is/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /am.ɸi.ʝyˈi.is/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /am.fi.ʝyˈi.is/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /am.fi.ʝiˈi.is/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) Forms: ἀμφῐγῠήεις [canonical], amphiguḗeis [romanization]
Etymology: The prefix is ἀμφι- (amphi-, “both”), but the root is less clear. Possibilities include: # γυής (guḗs, “curved piece of wood on a plow”) (which works well morphophonologically but is semantically peculiar) # γυῖον (guîon, “limb”) (which works well semantically but is morphophonologically unexpected) # γυιός (guiós, “lame”) (which works well semantically but is morphophonologically unexpected; moreover, it is attested later than ἀμφιγυήεις (amphiguḗeis)). Etymology templates: {{af|grc|ἀμφι-|sort=γυηεις|t1=both}} ἀμφι- (amphi-, “both”) Head templates: {{head|grc|adjective|attested only in the masculine singular nominative|head=ἀμφῐγῠήεις}} ἀμφῐγῠήεις • (amphiguḗeis) (attested only in the masculine singular nominative)
  1. lame on both sides(?); strong on both sides(?). (epithet of Hephaestus; etymological meaning uncertain, see Etymology section above)
