"ὄνυξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὄνυξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ó.nyks/, /ˈo.nyks/, /ˈo.niks/, /ó.nyks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈo.nyks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈo.nyks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈo.nyks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈo.niks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *h₃negʰ- (“nail”). Cognates include Latin unguis, Old Irish ingen, Sanskrit नख (nakhá, “claw, nail”), Old Armenian եղունգն (ełungn), Persian ناخن (nâxon), Old Church Slavonic ногъть (nogŭtĭ), Lithuanian nagas, Albanian nyell, and Old English næġl (English nail). The "onyx (gem)" sense is probably from the same source as the "nail" sense, perhaps due to the gem's nail-like white glaze, though a foreign borrowing reshaped by folk etymology is not out of the question.
