köken: Back-formation from the plural αβγά (avgá), itself extracted from ταβγά (tavgá, “the eggs”), a regular phonological development of Ancient Greek τά ᾠά (tá ōiá): :τά ᾠά /ta.oˈa/ → *τα ωγά /ta.oˈɣa/ → [tawγá] /tau̯ˈɣa/ → ταβγά /tavˈɣa/. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ōwyóm via Proto-Hellenic *ōyyón.
