Greek[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /aˈvɣo/
  • Hyphenation: αυ‧γό

Noun[edit]

αυγό • (avgó) n (plural αυγά)

  1. (literary) Alternative form of αβγό (avgó)

Usage notes[edit]

  • Spelling: In accordance with Georgios Hatzidakis & Manolis Triantafyllidis, Babiniotis considers αβγό the correct spelling: The ‑β‑ in the word originated from phonetic development and there is no justification for writing it with the diphthong ‑αυ‑, as though it has always existed in the word.[1] The αυγό spelling is found in other dictionaries.[2] (Also similar: αφτί (aftí) & αυτί (aftí)).
