σπινός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

The word shares the formation with ἰσχνός (iskhnós, “lean, thin”). According to Beekes, the word is probably connected with σπίδιος (spídios). Hardly related to Old Irish séim (“slender, lean”).

Pronunciation

(5^th BCE Attic) IPA^(key): /spi.nós/
(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /spiˈnos/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /spiˈnos/
(10^th CE Byzantine) IPA^(key): /spiˈnos/
(15^th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA^(key): /spiˈnos/

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowel ι 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.
