κύνωψ
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- ἀχύνωψ (akhúnōps)
Etymology
According to Beekes from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 291: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF., due to the presence of a prothetic vowel in the alternative form. This form may be due to folk etymology, making it appear to be from κυνο- (kuno-, “dog”) + ὤψ (ṓps, “eye, face”).
