Noun edit
θρῐ́ξ • (thríx) f (genitive τρῐχός); third declension
Inflection edit
The declension unusually shows the nominative singular's initial consonant being aspirated while the other forms lack it owing to Grassmann's law. The nominative singular and dative plural retained their initial aspiration due to the root χ losing its aspiration before the ending starting with -ς.
