κόνυζα

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

κνύζα (knúza)
σκόνυζα (skónuza)

Etymology

The formation is like other plant names, such as μάνυζα (mánuza), μώλυζα (mṓluza) and ὄρυζα (óruza). The assumption that it was formed from κονίς (konís, “nit”) is unwarranted. According to Beekes, the variations point to a Pre-Greek origin.

Pronunciation

(5^th BCE Attic) IPA^(key): /kó.nyz.da/
(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /ˈko.ny.za/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /ˈko.ny.za/
(10^th CE Byzantine) IPA^(key): /ˈko.ny.za/
(15^th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA^(key): /ˈko.ni.za/

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowel υ by adding a macron after it if it is long, or a breve if it is short. By default, Module:grc-pronunciation assumes it is short if unmarked.
