Adjective

IPA: /e.ýs/, /eˈys/, /eˈis/, /e.ýs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /eˈys/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /eˈys/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /eˈys/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /eˈis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀁𐀄- (e-u-), of disputed origin: * Has been connected with Sanskrit सु- (su-) and Hittite 𒀀𒀸𒋗𒍑 (āššuš), which would point to Proto-Indo-European *h₁su- (“good”); this may itself derive from *h₁es- (“to be”). * A competing theory, however, connects the word with Sanskrit वसु (vásu-), Avestan 𐬬𐬊𐬵𐬎- (vohu-), Illyrian *Vescleves, Middle Irish feb (“eminence”), which would derive from a Proto-Indo-European *h₁wésus (“good”). This theory would be supported by a reading δὲ ἐάων (dè eáōn) in book 24, line 528 of the Iliad, where the lack of elision would suggest an initial *w; however, this reading is late and therefore uncertain. It is possible that the two competing roots are ultimately related, stemming from a Proto-Indo-European *h₁wes- (“good”); this is debated, however.

This theory would be supported by a reading δὲ ἐάων (dè eáōn) in book 24, line 528 of the Iliad, where the lack of elision would suggest an initial *w; however, this reading is late and therefore uncertain.\nIt is possible that the two competing roots are ultimately related, stemming from a Proto-Indo-European *h₁wes- (“good”); this is debated, however.",
