Grammatical information: m.

Meaning: `(castrated) he-goat' (Δ 105, AP; on the meaning E. Maaß RhMus. 74, 464f.).

Other forms: Cf. ἰσχαλωμέναι δεδερματωμέναι H, and ἴσκλαι αἱ αἴγειαι μηλωταὶ ħ.

Derivatives: ἰξαλῆ f. `skin of ἰξ.' (Hp. Fract. 29) with several orthographic variants: ἰσάλη (sch. Ar. Nu. 72), ἰσσέλα H.), ἰτθέλη (Poll.), ἰττέλη (Poll.), ἰσσέλη (Theogn.), ἰσθλῆ (H.), ἰτθέλα (H.), etc. (Gal., Poll., H.; see Solmsen Wortforsch. 141).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: In the variations Solmsen saw like Bechtel Lex. s. v. evidence for Anatolian origin; thus Schwyzer 61. See Heubeck, Praegraeca 66 and 80. Pre-Greek, Fur. 129, 286,, 349, 379, 393.The form with ἴσκλ- shows syncopeof the α\/ε, that with ἰσχαλ- metathesis; α\/ε is well known. I suggest that the word had *ikt^yal- with a palatalized t as second consonant. See Beekes, Pre-Greek, 5.5.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `beautify, embellish, adorn oneself' (Eup., Arist., Them.), ἐπι-κομμόομαι (Them.).

Derivatives: κόμμωμα `ornament' (Luc.), - ωσις `ornamentation' (Ath., H.); backformation κομμός περίεργος κόσμησις (Suid.); - ωτής `dresser' (Arr., Luc., Plu.) with κομμωτίζω ἐπιμελοῦμαι (Suid.), - ώτρια f. `servant-girl' (Ar., Plat.), - ώτριον `cleaning thing' (Ar.), - ωτικός `belonging to cleaning, polishing', - ωτική ( τέχνη) `art of cleaning' (Pl., hell.); κομμώ ἡ κοσμοῦσα τὸ ἕδος τῆς Άθηνᾶς ἱέρεια (AB).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: As typical culture word κομμόω is suspected to be a fashionable innovation or loan. The similarity with κόσμος resp. κομψός led to attempts, to connect them: *κομμος dialectal for κόσμος (L. Meyer 2, 342); from *κομπ-μ-ος beside κομπ-σ-ος (= κομψός) as IE. variants (?; Brugmann IF 28, 359 A. 2); both not very convincing. Better was the idea of Solmsen, RhMus. 56, 501f., to find an innovation, from κομμώ, which would have hypocoristic gemination in *κομώ (: κομεῖν).

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `ring, rattle' (only λᾰκεῖν), `crash' (- ληκέω), (λᾱκέω), `shout, scream, speak loudly'; on the meaning Björck Alpha impurum 280 ff. (A., E., Ar.).

Other forms: Lengthened λασκάζει φλυαρεῖ, θωπεύει H., ἐπι-ληκέω (θ 379), (δια-)λᾱκέω (Ar. Nu. 410, Theoc., Act. Ap. 1, 18), λᾰκάζω (A.), also λάω in ( ὀξὺ) λάων? (cf. s.v.), aor. λᾰκεῖν (Il., trag.), λελᾰκέσθαι (h. Merc.), λᾰκῆσαι (Ar. Pax 382), -λᾱκῆσαι (Ar. Nu. 410), fut. λακήσομαι (Ar. Pax 381,384), perf. λέληκα (X 141), λέλᾱκα (A. in lyr., E., Ar.).

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.

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: No certain connections outside Greek. Jokl Untersuchungen 205 compares Alb. laikatis `flatter, persuade'. Without the κ ( λάσκω = λά-σκω) doubting W. P. Schmid IF 62, 238 n. 68; unconvincing) we can connect the words discussed sub λῆρος. WP. 2, 376 f., Pok. 658 f.(?), also W.-Hofmann s. loquor. - Root speculations in Ammer Sprache 2, 210.
