I need it for a book I'm writing. It's two separate words I need, not a combined phrase.

Secret keeper as a noun. It is an object.

Flute as in the musical instrument.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd love the Ancient Greek writing of it and the pronunciation.

Thank you very much! :)

Αs advised, please read The Rules before posting (click at top of page), esp. Rule 1.4.
And by "secret keeper" do you mean an official Keeper of Secrets, or do you mean one who can keep a secret?  When you say, "It is an object," do you mean that it is the object of a verb? or something else?  Please provide a bit of context.

This topic is OK for secret keeper; no need for extra question for this.

By "Secret Keeper" I mean an object, a noun, which has a hidden compartment to put a "secret" in. (a special object, a letter, a jewel, etc) The object is a Keeper of Secret, if that helps, but I don't mean a person.

Thank you! And apologies for posting wrong the first time! :)
