Etymology
Ancient Greek ῥαμφηστής (rhamphēstḗs), from ῥαμφή (rhamphḗ, “hooked knife, bill”) or ῥάμφος (rhámphos, “bill of a bird of prey”), possibly from Lua error in Module:parameters at line 376: 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.. See ῥέμβομαι (rhémbomai, “to turn around, roam”) and ῥόμβος (rhómbos, “wheel”).
