ἄρον

See also: ἆρον

Ancient Greek

Etymology

Hemmerdinger derived it from Egyptian r (reed, cane). Perhaps it is also contained in ἀρίς (arís) and ἀρίσαρον (arísaron). A comparison with Latin arundo (cane) is less probable. Compare the synonym ὀρόντιον (oróntion), which may imply Pre-Greek origin.
