βουνό (vounό)

....is the MODERN (Demotic) Greek word for "mountain"; the classical (ANCIENT) Greek word is :

όρος (oros)

...its few remaining persistences in demotic-Greek usage notably include the Hagion Oros, or "Holy Mountain" monastery in Chalkidike, Macedonia (the authentic, Greek one), as well as the towns of Argos Orestikon and Orestiada (in Macedonia and Thrace, respectively), named after Orestes (Gr: "Mountaineer"), son of Agamemnon, and hero of Aeschylus' "Oresteia" trilogy of plays dealing with the House of Atreus.
