ὕδνον in Ancient Greek

IPA: /hý.dnon/, /ˈy.ðnon/, /ˈi.ðnon/, /hý.dnon/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈ(h)y.dnon/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈy.ðnon/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈy.ðnon/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈi.ðnon/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan) [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: The word has hesitantly been connected to ὕδωρ (húdōr, “water”) as "juicy", to ὕω (húō, “to rain”) as "rain plant" and to ὗς (hûs, “swine”) as "sow-bread". In view of the alternative forms, Beekes argues for a Pre-Greek word and links it with ἴτον (íton, “kind of mushroom”).
