σίσαρον
Ancient Greek
Etymology
According to Beekes, the etymology is still unclear. The word recalls ἄσαρον (ásaron, “hazelwort”) and ἠδύσαρον (ēdúsaron, “axe-weed”).

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowels ί 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.
