"ὕσπληξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὕσπληξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /hýs.plɛːks/, /ˈys.pliks/, /ˈis.pliks/, /hýs.plɛːks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈ(h)ys.ple̝ks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈys.pliks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈys.pliks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈis.pliks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Traditionally analysed as a compound of ὗς (hûs, “swine”) and πλήσσω (plḗssō, “to struck, smite”). In view of the variants with pre-nasalization, however, a Pre-Greek origin seems the most likely option.
