Origin: IE [Indo-European] [301] *h₁eḱuos `horse'

Etymology: Inherited word for `horse', e. g. Skt. áśva-, Lat. equus, Venet. acc. ekvon, Celt., e. g. OIr. ech, Germ., e. g. OE eoh, OLith. ešva `mare', Toch. B yakwe, perh. also Thrac. PN Βετεσπιος, give IE *h₁eḱu̯os; further HLuw. aśuwa, Lyc. esbe. From this form we expect Gr. *ἔππος or *ἔκκος (s. Schwyzer 301). A form with geminate is indeed found in ἴκκος (EM 474, 12), Ἴκκος PN (Tarent., Epid.); s. Lejeune, Phonétique 72. (With ἴκκος: ἵππος cf. Pannonian PN Ecco, Eppo.) A problem is the ἰ-; one suggestion was that it is Mycenaean; Cf. W.-Hofmann s. equus, Schwyzer 351. The aspiration is also difficult. - There is no further explanation for the word (connection e.g. with ὠκύς cannot be demonstrated).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [655] * leh₂u- `plunder'

Etymology: The abstract λεία, ληΐη from *λᾱϜ-ία and the ιδ-derivation ληΐς from *λᾱϜ-ίδ- which stands beside it (not with Bechtel Lex. 215 after Fraenkel old ī-stem because of ληϊ̃τις, s. v.) can go back either on a noun *λᾱϜ(-ο)- v. t. or directly on a verb, which with zero-grade is supposed in ἀπο-λαύω; s. v., and Pok. 655. S. further λᾱρός and λήϊον.
