Alternative reconstructions edit
Etymology edit
From earlier *lỳsь, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *lū́ˀśis, from Proto-Indo-European *lúHḱis, from *lewk-. Cognate with Lithuanian lūšis, Latvian lūsis and Old Prussian luysis. Further Indo-European cognates are Ancient Greek λύγξ (lúnx), Old Armenian լուսանունք pl (lusanunkʻ), German Luchs and Old English lox. Note the rhotacism of the initial consonant from "l" to "r" due to Iranic influence, while the other Indo-European cognates did not undergo this change.
