Ancient Greek[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Hellenic *pʰorgʷā́ and cognate with Mycenaean Greek 𐀡𐀣 (po-qa /pʰorgʷā/); equivalent to φέρβω (phérbō, “to feed”) + -η (-ē, abstract noun suffix). The first element is of unknown origin; Beekes calls it an agricultural word, which could imply a substrate source.[1] Another suggestion is Proto-Indo-European *bʰergʷ- (“to feed”).[2]
Pronunciation[edit]
