ἀστακός

See also: αστακός and Ἄστακος

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

ὀστακός (ostakós)

Etymology

Often analyzed as a derivation of ὀστέον (ostéon, “bone”) but this is highly improbable. Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin.

Pronunciation

(5^th BCE Attic) IPA^(key): /as.ta.kós/
(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /as.taˈkos/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /as.taˈkos/
(10^th CE Byzantine) IPA^(key): /as.taˈkos/
(15^th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA^(key): /as.taˈkos/

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowels ἀ and α 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.
