ὑφέν

Ancient Greek

Univerbation of ὑφ’ ἕν (huph’ hén), from ῠ̔πο- (hŭpo-, “by, under”) +‎ ἕν (hén, “one”), neuter of εἷς (heîs, “one”)

ὑφέν • (huphén)

ὑφέν • (huphén) f (indeclinable)

The Ancient Greek hyphen resembles a breve (˘), and is written under a compound word, rather than between its elements; it is a different symbol entirely from the Latin - (strictly, ‐).
