νάκη

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

νάκος (nákos)

Etymology

Has been connected with Old English næsc (“soft leather; deer skin”) but Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin.

Pronunciation

(5^th BCE Attic) IPA^(key): /ná.kɛː/
(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /ˈna.ke/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /ˈna.ki/
(10^th CE Byzantine) IPA^(key): /ˈna.ci/
(15^th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA^(key): /ˈna.ci/

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowel ά 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.
