κύβη

Ancient Greek

Etymology

No known cognates, therefore probably from Pre-Greek. Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *kewb(ʰ)- (“to bend, bulge; protrusion, hill, bowl”) (cf. Proto-Slavic *kubъ (“bucket”), perhaps also Ancient Greek κύβος (kúbos, “hollow in the hips”)), but the presence of *b is suspicious and the semantics are distant.

Pronunciation

(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /ˈky.be̝/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /ˈcy.βi/
