Where this word comes from

From Ancient Greek Οἴα (Oía), the name of a city at the time of its capture by the Greek rulers of Cyrenaica, later hypothesized to be the same city as Oea, which the Greeks called Ἐώα (Eṓa), the name Οἴα (Oía) recorded as being from Punic 𐤅𐤉‬𐤏‬𐤕 (wy‬ʿ‬t‬), apparently from an unknown name of an existing Berber village, the site of which Οἴα was built on.
