"ἄλσος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἄλσος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ál.sos/, /ˈal.sos/, /ˈal.sos/, /ál.sos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈal.sos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈal.sos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈal.sos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈal.sos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“to grow, nourish”), the same root of Latin alō, alumnus, oleō and English old. On the other hand, Beekes connects the word with the proper noun Ἄλτις (Áltis), the name of a sacred enclosure dedicated to Zeus in Olympia; on this basis one could reconstruct the noun as *alti̯os. Furnée accepts the equation, but interprets it in the context of other instances of an interchange of dental and sibilant in Pre-Greek words, like ἄννησον (ánnēson) and ἄνηθον (ánēthon).

  "etymology_text": "Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el- (“to grow, nourish”), the same root of Latin alō, alumnus, oleō and English old. On the other hand, Beekes connects the word with the proper noun Ἄλτις (Áltis), the name of a sacred enclosure dedicated to Zeus in Olympia; on this basis one could reconstruct the noun as *alti̯os. Furnée accepts the equation, but interprets it in the context of other instances of an interchange of dental and sibilant in Pre-Greek words, like ἄννησον (ánnēson) and ἄνηθον (ánēthon).",
