σιρός

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

σειρός (seirós)

Etymology

According to Beekes, probably from Pre-Greek as there's no connection with other words.

Pronunciation

(5^th BCE Attic) IPA^(key): /si.rós/
(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /siˈros/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /siˈros/
(10^th CE Byzantine) IPA^(key): /siˈros/
(15^th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA^(key): /siˈros/

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowel ι 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.
