"ὠλίγγη" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ὠλίγγη in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɔː.líŋ.ɡɛː/, /oˈliɲ.ɟi/, /oˈliɲ.ɟi/, /ɔː.líŋ.ɡɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /oˈliŋ.ɡe̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /oˈliɲ.ɟi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /oˈliɲ.ɟi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /oˈliɲ.ɟi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Without a convincing etymology. Not related to Sanskrit आली (ālī, “stripe, line”). According to Beekes, clearly of Pre-Greek origin, in view of the nasalized suffix. The connection with αὖλαξ (aûlax, “furrow”) is certainly wrong.
