σιωπή
See also: σιωπῇ
Ancient Greek
Etymology
Probably of non-Indo-European (Pre-Greek substrate) origin, due to the alternating forms σιωπ- and σωπ-. Superficially resembling σιγή (sigḗ, “silence”), but probably not related. Also likely not related to Proto-Germanic *swībaną (“to suspend, stop, finish”).[1][2]
