ὁ/ἡ σῦς, συός – a (wild) boar, a domestic pig
(= ὁ/ἡ ὗς, ὑός)
ὑπάρχουσι σύες ἄγριοι τε καὶ ἥμεροι· πάντες δὲ οἱ σύες γρυλίζουσιν λέγοντες· γρῦ, ὅθεν παροιμιακῶς λέγεται· οὐδὲ γρῦ λέγειν, τουτέστιν· οὐδὲν λέγειν, σιωπᾶν.
There exist wild and tame pigs: All the pigs, however, grunt saying „oink“, whence one says proverbally „to not even say oink“, i.e.: to say nothing, to stay quiet.
