λισσός

See also: Λίσσος

Ancient Greek edit

Derived from λίς (lís, “smooth”), itself seemingly from a Proto-Indo-European *lh₁i-t- (“smooth”), with no certain cognates outside of Greek.^[1] The supposed Proto-Indo-European root may be related to Proto-Indo-European *(s)ley- (“smooth; slick; sticky; slimy”).^[2]^[3] Compare also λισσάς (lissás), λίσπος (líspos), λίσφος (lísphos), and λίστρον (lístron).
