οὐλαί
Ancient Greek edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
The comparison with ἔλυμος (élumos, “millet”) and ὄλυρα (ólura, “spelt”) is hypothetical. In view of the gloss ὄλπα (ólpa), which Furnée connects with ὄλβος (ólbos, “happiness, bliss”) under an original meaning "nourishment, corn, grain", it is probably Pre-Greek.
