IPA: /e.riː.ny̌ːs/, /e.riˈnys/, /e.riˈnis/, /e.riː.ny̌ːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /e.riˈnys/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /e.riˈnys/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /e.riˈnys/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /e.riˈnis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Attested in Mycenaean Greek 𐀁𐀪𐀝 (e-ri-nu), 𐀁𐀪𐀝𐀸 (e-ri-nu-we), pointing to Proto-Hellenic *Erīnū́s. Outside of that, uncertain; traditionally connected to ὀρῑ́νω (orī́nō) via Proto-Indo-European *h₁er- (“to move, stir”), but this root is now usually reconstructed as *h₃er-, so the e-grade would be unaccounted for by normal sound change.
