λοῖσθος
Ancient Greek edit
Etymology 1 edit
Uncertain etymology due to medial -θ-. Scheftelowitz posited *sloydʰ-to-, which is compared to Russian после́дний (poslédnij, “last, latest”), Lithuanian slýsti (“to glide”) and ὀλισθάνω (olisthánō, “to slip, slide”), but it is unlikely that the cluster preserved its aspiration for such a long time.

Greek λοστός (lostós, “lever”) seems to presuppose a pre-form *λοϊσθός (*loïsthós). Further unclear.
