ἀχράς

Etymology
Connected to. According to Beekes a origin is exposed by the alternation ἀ-χερδ- beside ἀ-χραδ-. While the alternation can also be understood in Indo-European terms, the word for “pear” must be suspect of loanword origin due to the Caucasian heimat of the plant, and indeed it appears reflected in, for instance, 🇨🇬, and thence even as far as 🇨🇬.
