"πέλεκυς" meaning in Greek

See πέλεκυς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From Ancient Greek πέλεκυς (pélekus), cognate with Sanskrit परशु (paraśú, “axe”), which would reflect Proto-Indo-European *peleḱús if reconstructed back to PIE. Beekes suggested a Pre-Greek origin. Compare also German Beil (“axe”) as well as Hungarian and Turkish balta, both meaning "axe."
