# ὄγκος
## Ancient Greek
### Pronunciation

* IPA: /óŋ.kos/ → /ˈoŋ.ɡos/ → /ˈoŋ.ɡos/
* (5th BCE Attic) IPA: /óŋ.kos/
* (1st CE Egyptian) IPA: /ˈoŋ.kos/
* (4th CE Koine) IPA: /ˈoŋ.ɡos/
* (10th CE Byzantine) IPA: /ˈoŋ.ɡos/

### Etymology 1

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₁onḱos (“burden”), from *h₁neḱ- (“to take away”). It has also been claimed that all attestations can be understood from a meaning "swelling", from earlier "curvature", and thus ultimately identical to 'Etymology 2'.
Compare with the semantics of Latin mōlēs.
