Etymology: By Bezzenberger BB 5, 315 λῶμα is connected with εὔληρα, αὔληρα `rein', Lat. lōrum `id.', with Arm. lar 'noose, cord'; on the suffixvariation λῶ-μα: lōrum cf. e.g. γνῶ-μα: γνώ-ρ-ιμος, κλῆ-μα: κλῆ-ρος. The words mentioned have all been connected with the root u̯el- `turn, wind, twist', in Greek.further in εἰλέω (cf. Frisk Eranos 40, 87ff.; λῶμα: ἴλλω as πτῶμα: πίπτω. But εὐληρα is Pre-Greek, s.v. - Diff. on λῶμα Scheftelowitz KZ 53, 268 (to Skt. lūná- `cut off'), Specht KZ 68, 126 (to λώπη with variation π: μ, which is wrong), Machek Studia in hon. Acad. d. Děcev 51 (to Tchech. lem `fringe'); all unconvincing. Cf. λωτις, λωστυς. Not cognate is λώδιξ `woven cover' (from Lat. lōdīx; s. W.-Hofmann s. v.).
