βορρᾶ {βορέου}[1 verse](noun sg masc gen) "North" is borras, which means "north" or "north wind". -- The word translated as "north" is not the common ancient Greek word for "north" but it is used in modern Greek. The common word for "north" actually means "north wind" or the direction of the north wind. There is no article used, so not "the north" but simply "north" as a direction.
