ἀήρ

See also: αήρ and Appendix:Variations of "aer"

Ancient Greek

Beekes gives Proto-Hellenic *auhḗr (“morning mist”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewsḗr, from *h₂ews- (“dawn; east”). Cognate with αὔρᾱ (aúrā) (< *h₂éwsreh₂), Latin aurōra.[1] The a was lengthened to ā by compensatory lengthening.

Sihler gives Proto-Hellenic *āwḗr (“morning mist”) but provides no further etymology.[2][3] See Albanian fjur.
