====Usage notes====
A semantic shift of the colour denoted by the word appears to have occurred in the second half of the 20<sup>th</sup> century.<ref name="Kechagioglou">{{cite-journal|el|first=Georgios|last=Kechagioglou|title=Μαβής ουρανός, μαβιά θάλασσα, μαβιά μάτια. Η «ανακάλυψη» του ιώδους ή Περί της αχρωματοψίας σύγχρονων λεξικών στο γαλανό-γαλάζιο|trans-title="Mavis" sky, "mavia" sea, "mavia" eyes. The "discovery" of violet ''or'' On the colour blindness of modern dictionaries regarding azures|journal=Μικροφιλολογικά|trans-work=Mikrofilologika|location=Nicosia|year=2000|volume=7|pages=5-9}}</ref><ref name="Sarantakos">{{cite-web|el|first=Nikos|last=Sarantakos|title=Ποιο χρώμα είναι το μαβί;|trans-title=Which colour is "mavi"?|url=https://sarantakos.wordpress.com/2022/05/09/mavi/|site=Οι λέξεις έχουν τη δική τους ιστορία|date=9 May 2022}}</ref> Earlier (pre-WWII) dictionaries give the meaning exclusively as "dark blue" (''cf''. Modern {{m+|tr|mavi|t=blue}}).<ref name="Proias"/><ref name="Kechagioglou"/> This is supported by the common use in concurrent literature (see Cavafy quotes). However, starting from the 1950-60s the second meaning of "mauve, dark purple" appears in major dictionaries.<ref name="Dimitrakos"/> According to Sarantakos<ref name="Sarantakos"/> this is perhaps due to diminishing contact and understanding of the Turkish language, where the term originates, and the semantic influence of phonetically similar {{m|el|μοβ}} (from {{m+|fr|mauve}}). Nowadays, discrepancies are found among major dictionaries;<ref name="Kechagioglou"/> some sources note both meanings,<ref name="B2008"/> while others only include "mauve, dark purple",<ref name="LKN"/> indicating the dominance of the latter in colloquial speech.<ref name="Sarantakos"/>
