IPA: /ér.pʰos/, /ˈer.ɸos/, /ˈer.fos/, /ér.pʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈer.pʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈer.ɸos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈer.fos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈer.fos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: It rhymes with better known στέρφος (stérphos, “hide, skin”), but further unclear. Güntert suggests that this word is a younger reshaping from ἐρέφω (eréphō, “to cover with a roof”).
