ῥαφανίς

Ancient Greek

From the same set of Proto-Indo-European roots meaning turnip, radish as ῥάφυς (rháphus), ῥάπυς (rhápus, “turnip”), though inconsistencies in the reflexes seem to point to heavy borrowing. Compare Latin rāpum, rāpa, rāpistrum, Old High German ruoba (German Rübe), Proto-Slavic *rěpa (Old Church Slavonic репа (repa)), and Lithuanian rópė. Also see ῥάφανος (rháphanos, “cabbage”).

ῥᾰφᾰνῑ́ς • (rhaphanī́s) f (genitive ῥᾰφᾰνῖδος); third declension

All sources point to the final iota being long but Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 2.56e claims that a short iota is common.

Third declension of ἡ ῥᾰφᾰνῑ́ς; τῆς ῥᾰφᾰνῖδος (Attic)
