"ὄαρ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὄαρ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ó.ar/, /ˈo.ar/, /ˈo.ar/, /ó.ar/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈo.ar/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈo.ar/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈo.ar/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈo.ar/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Looking at ὀαρίζω (oarízō, “to converse, chat with”), it is thought that this word originally meant "confidential intercourse", whence "confidential company, wife". A good etymology has not been found. According to Beekes, perhaps from Pre-Greek. Maybe from *h₁ós-r̥ "female", whence also feminine numeral *tisr-, according to Kim.
