1 λαίθαργος
Grammatical information: adj.Meaning: `guileful, secret(ly), treacherous', of dogs which bite unexpectedly (S. Fr. 885, Orac. ap. Ar. Eq. 1068); also λαιθάργῳ ποδί ( Trag. Adesp. 227), by H. explained as λαθραίῳ.Other forms: λαθαργοι κύνες κρυφίως δάκνοντες Η. (mistake for λαιθ-?)Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Considered identical with λήθαργος `forgetful, lethargic' (s. v.) and taken as a reshaping after the expressive -popular words in λαι- ( λαιδρός, λαίμαργος a. o.). No old IE. ablaut lādh-: lǝidh- (Fick BB 28, 101 f.). The word seems influenced, at least its interpretation by ληθ-, λαθ- `forget' (with ἐργ-?), which may (will) be wrong. The variation αι \/ η is rather Pre-Greek. S. also λαραργ-.Page in Frisk: 2,72Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λαίθαργος
