Ancient Greek
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Usually said to be a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱeh₃- (“shade, shadow”),[1] though the vocalism is difficult to explain as full grade *sḱeh₃- gives σκω (skō) and zero grade *sḱh₃- gives σκο (sko).
Alternatively, possibly a Semitic loanword related to Hebrew שָׁכַן (shakhán) and Arabic سَكَنَ (sakana, “to dwell, reside, inhabit”).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /skɛː.nɛ̌ː/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /ske̝ˈne̝/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /sciˈni/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /sciˈni/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /sciˈni/
