- IPA(key): /ka.lûː/ → /kaˈlu/ → /kaˈlu/
κᾱλοῦ • (kāloû) (Homeric, poetic)
- masculine/neuter genitive singular of κᾱλός (kālós, “beautiful, lovely; beauteous, fair, good, fine; admirable, honorable, noble; moral, virtuous”)
κᾰλοῦ • (kaloû) (Attic, Koine)
- masculine/neuter genitive singular of κᾰλός (kalós, “beautiful, lovely; beauteous, fair, good, fine; admirable, honorable, noble; moral, virtuous”)
- ^ The /α/ is short by nature, but because the word was originally καλϝοῦ (kalwoû), the first syllable scans as heavy in Homer.
