"ἄμβιξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἄμβιξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ám.biːks/, /ˈam.biks/, /ˈam.biks/, /ám.biːks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈam.biks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈam.biks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈam.biks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈam.biks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The suffix is no doubt a substrate element, as it is in κύλιξ (kúlix). It is often connected with ἄμβη (ámbē, “raised edge”) and ἄμβων (ámbōn, “crest of a hill”), but this remains uncertain. Derivation from ἀναβαίνω (anabaínō, “to mount”) seems most improbable. Ultimately, the origin of the word is still uncertain.
