Esox

Etymology
Attested in Pliny the Elder's Natural History as a word for a large fish from the Rhine, but otherwise only in, applied by to a pike. Most likely, the scant Classical references to a fresh-water fish indicate that the word was borrowed from (compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬); usually also compared is 🇨🇬, attested only in a vocabulary list.
