στυγνός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From στυγέω (stugéō) + -νός (-nós), of uncertain origin, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewd- (to hit, push) (compare Sanskrit तुदति (tudati, to push, drive)).

Pronunciation

 

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.
