Based on the given data, the Greek word ἶρις (iris) refers to a rainbow. Despite its occurrence in the semantic domain related to warfare and conflict, its meaning in the Bible is not directly related to conflict, but rather its appearance after a storm, which could be connected to a conflict, is more likely symbolic of a covenant or sign of God's promise. This word appears only twice in the Bible, indicating its relative infrequency and potential significance as a sign or symbol.
