φρύνη

See also: Φρύνη

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms

φροῦνος (phroûnos)
φρῦνος (phrûnos)

Etymology

Maybe from Proto-Indo-European *bʰruHn-, the same root of Proto-Germanic *brūnaz (“brown”). However the presence of variations leads to a Pre-Greek origin.

Pronunciation

(5^th BCE Attic) IPA^(key): /pʰrý.nɛː/
(1^st CE Egyptian) IPA^(key): /ˈpʰry.ne/
(4^th CE Koine) IPA^(key): /ˈɸry.ni/
(10^th CE Byzantine) IPA^(key): /ˈfry.ni/
(15^th CE Constantinopolitan) IPA^(key): /ˈfri.ni/

Mark the vowel length of the ambiguous vowel ύ 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.
