"ὕφεαρ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὕφεαρ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /hý.pʰe.ar/, /ˈy.ɸe.ar/, /ˈi.fe.ar/, /hý.pʰe.ar/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈ(h)y.pʰe.ar/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈy.ɸe.ar/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈy.fe.ar/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈi.fe.ar/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unexplained. Traditionally derived from φύω (phúō, “to grow”), with a prefix ὑ- (hu-), following the explanation in Hesychius, who described it as “what grows on firs”. But, since a full grade φευ- (pheu-) does not definitively occur in Greek, such a derivation is implausible. Nor is this word related to σῦφαρ (sûphar, “old, wrinkled skin”). Likely Pre-Greek, given its meaning and the ending -ᾰρ (-ăr).
