ἄρον

See also: ἆρον

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Hemmerdinger derived it from Egyptian r (“reed, cane”). Perhaps it is also contained in ἀρίς (arís) and ἀρίσαρον (arísaron). A comparison with Latin arundo (“cane”) is less probable. Compare the synonym ὀρόντιον (oróntion), which may imply Pre-Greek origin.
