单词 πίφιγξ
释义

πίφιγξ

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

  • πίφηξ (píphēx), πίφιξ (píphix)

Etymology

Probably an onomatopoeia, and as such comparable to πιππίζω (pippízō, to chirp), πιπώ (pipṓ, woodpecker); the suffix is reminiscent of instances such as σάλπιγξ (sálpinx), πέρδιξ (pérdix), and the morphological variation between -ιγξ/-ιξ strongly points to Pre-Greek origin.
