"ὄρυξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὄρυξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ó.ryks/, /ˈo.ryks/, /ˈo.riks/, /ó.ryks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈo.ryks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈo.ryks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈo.ryks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈo.riks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Related to ὀρύσσω (orússō, “I dig, scrape”), though this is likely a derivative of ὄρυξ. Likely cognate with Latin runcō (“I grub up”). The sense of oryx is likely a loanword accreted by analogy with the animal's pointed horns.
