σιβύνη
Ancient Greek
Alternative forms
- ζιβύνη (zibúnē)
- συβίνη (subínē)
Etymology
Clearly a word of foreign origin. Compare Old Armenian սուին (suin, “spear”), Persian زوبین (zubin, “javelin”).
Pronunciation
- (5th BCE Attic) IPA(key): /si.bý.nɛː/
- (1st CE Egyptian) IPA(key): /siˈby.ne/
- (4th CE Koine) IPA(key): /siˈβy.ni/
- (10th CE Byzantine) IPA(key): /siˈvy.ni/
- (15th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA(key): /siˈvi.ni/
Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowels ι and ύ by adding a macron after each one if it is long, or a breve if it is short. By default, Module:grc-pronunciation assumes it is short if unmarked.
