φλύαρος

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Perhaps a back-formation from φλυαρέω (phluaréō, “to talk nonsense”).

Pronunciation

(5^th BCE Attic) IPA^(key): /pʰlý.a.ros/
(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /ˈpʰly.a.ros/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /ˈɸly.a.ros/
(10^th CE Byzantine) IPA^(key): /ˈfly.a.ros/
(15^th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA^(key): /ˈfli.a.ros/

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowels ύ 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.
