"ῥομφαία" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ῥομφαία in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /r̥om.pʰǎi̯.aː/, /romˈɸɛ.a/, /romˈfe.a/, /r̥om.pʰǎi̯.aː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /romˈpʰɛ.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /romˈɸɛ.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /romˈfe.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /romˈfe.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Borrowed from Thracian, ultimately possibly from Proto-Indo-European *Hrewp- (“to break”), likely closely related to Albanian rrufé (“lightning”). However the ending in -αία (-aía) is also found in many Greek terms such as κεραία (keraía), καμιναία (kaminaía), αὐλαία (aulaía). Formally closer to ῥομφεῖς (rhompheîs, “straps by which shoes are stitched”).
