κόρυζα

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Traditionally compared to Old English hrot (mucus) but Beekes doesn't dismiss a Pre-Greek origin.

Pronunciation

 

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowel υ by adding a macron after it if it is long, or a breve if it is short. By default, Module:grc-pronunciation assumes it is short if unmarked.
