κάνδαρος
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Generally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kand- (“to shine, glow”), like Latin candeō (“I glow”), Albanian hënë (“moon”), Sanskrit चन्द्र (candrá, “shining”) and Old Armenian խանդ (xand). However Beekes suggests a Pre-Greek origin.
Pronunciation

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowels ά 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.
