Cypriot Greek: words

A first list of Cypriot Greek words, each with its source.

A first list, in progress. Every word was found in at least one published source, named beside it. Words marked Attested were found in two independent sources, or in one public domain work. Words marked Unconfirmed have not yet been found in a second independent source. The checks so far were made with AI assistance, and no word has yet been reviewed by the editorial board. The meanings are written by us.
