Wörter 277 w. n. 27). The original anlaut is perhaps after a hesitating suggestion of Wackernagel IF 25, 327 n. 1 (Kl. Schr. 1023 a. 1) a in Ionic and elsewhere pronounced open <b class="b3">ἰρ-</b>, which was in Attic first rendered by <b class="b3">ἐ-</b>, later by <b class="b3">εἰρ-</b>; the Attic orthography became dominant. The meaning of <b class="b3">-ρήνη</b>, <b class="b3">-ράνα</b> etc. is uncertain; cf. Schwyzer 189. - No etymology; Pre-Greek origin is very prob. already because of the ending ([[Ἀθήνη]], [[Μυκήνη]] etc.); thus e. g. Chantraine Formation 206). - Further see Brugmann and Keil Sächs.
