"ἀνία" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἀνία in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /a.nǐː.aː/, /aˈni.a/, /aˈni.a/, /a.nǐː.aː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /aˈni.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /aˈni.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /aˈni.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /aˈni.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unknown. The connection with Sanskrit अमीव (amīva, “pain, grief”) requires an unwarranted dissimilation m-ṷ > n-ṷ and should be rejected. As remarked by Nikolaev, derivation from *h₂eys- (“to search”) is semantically not very convincing; he proposed instead to connect the root *h₂eis(h₂) (“to refresh”).
