ἀλεκτρυών
See also: Ἀλεκτρυών
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology edit
From ᾰ̓λέκτωρ (aléktōr, “cock, rooster”) + -υών (-uṓn, an obscure suffix also appearing in ἀλκυών (alkuṓn, “kingfisher”)). The first element is the agentive noun of ᾰ̓λέξω (aléxō, “ward off”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂lek-s-, an *s-derivative of *h₂lek- (“protect”). Compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀀𐀨𐀓𐀶𐀬𐀺 (a-ra-ku-tu-ru-wo /Alektruōn/).[1]
