"ἀχράς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἀχράς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /a.kʰrás/, /aˈxras/, /aˈxras/, /a.kʰrás/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /aˈkʰras/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /aˈxras/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /aˈxras/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /aˈxras/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Connected to ἄχερδος (ákherdos, “wild pear”). According to Beekes, a Pre-Greek origin is exposed by the alternation ἀ-χερδ- beside ἀ-χραδ-. While the alternation can also be understood in Indo-European terms, the word for “pear” must be suspect of loanword origin due to the Caucasian heimat of the plant, and indeed it appears reflected in, for instance, Ossetian кӕрдо (kærdo, “pear”), and thence even as far as Kipchak كرتما (kärtmä, “pear”).
