λαμυρός

Ancient Greek

Etymology

The formation is similar to γλαφυρός (glaphurós) and βδελυρός (bdelurós). There seems no basis for the comparison with Latin lemurēs (“roaming ghosts”). The word is probably Pre-Greek and related to λαφύσσω (laphússō, “to swallow”) with interchange "μ/φ". Perhaps λαιμός (laimós, “throat, gullet”) is also related.
