"ὀρφώς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὀρφώς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /or.pʰɔ̌ːs/, /orˈɸos/, /orˈfos/, /or.pʰɔ̌ːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /orˈpʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /orˈɸos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /orˈfos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /orˈfos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unknown. Formation like the fish names λαγώς (lagṓs) and ἀχαρνώς (akharnṓs). Often compared to ὄρφνη (órphnē, “darkness of night”), with reference to the color, but unclear in detail. Connected with ὀρφανός (orphanós, “orphan”) by Bechtel, but without semantic argumentation; perhaps because of its solitary way of life.
