Derivatives: 1. From λακεῖν: λάκος ἦχος, ψόφος; λακερόν ἠχαῖον (cod. εἰκαῖον) H., λακέρυζα `screaming' ( κορώνη Hes.; also κύων, second. - ζος; Schwyzer 473 472 A. 3) with λακερύζω, - ομαι (EM, H., Phot., Suid.), but s. on λαγκύζεσθαι; λακέτᾱς (λᾱκ-?) `kind of cicada' (Ael.; cf. Gil Emer. 25,318); λάκημα `fragment' (cf. Björck 282; at least partly to λακίς, s. v.). 2. From ληκέω, λᾱκέω: Λακητήρ spit of land of Kos (Fraenkel Nom. ag. 1, 162); here also Ληκήτρια f. name of a goddess (Lyc. 1391) after Schwyzer RhMus. 75, 448 (codd. Ληκτηρ-); ληκητής `cryer' and λᾱκεδόνες f. pl. `bawling' (Timo). To the old pair λᾰκεῖν: λέλᾱκα, - ηκα (cf. κρᾰγεῖν κέκρᾱγα a. o.) the other forms were created: to λᾰκεῖν: λάσκω (from *λάκ-σκω; cf. below), λᾰκάζω, λᾰκῆσαι, λελᾰκέσθαι (old?); to λέλᾱκα, - ηκα: λᾱκέω, ληκέω, λᾱκῆσαι, perhaps also λάω (s.v.); λακήσομαι allows both interpretations as the quantity is uncertain.
