Grammatical information: v.Meaning: `swallow, gulp down' (Il.).Other forms: aor. λαφύξαιDerivatives: λαφυγμός (com., AP), λάφυξις (Ath.), λαφύγματα pl. (epigram) `gluttony'; λαφύκτης `gourmand' (Arist.); also λαφύστιος `gluttonous, devoured' (Lyc.), cf. Ζεὺς Λαφύστιος (Hdt. 7, 197; from Λαφύστιον ὄρος in Boeotia), in whose cult human sacrifices occurred.Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]Etymology: Expressive verb in - ύσσω (Schwyzer 733, Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 335), cf. λάψαι, λάπτω. The aspirated λαφ- is also seen in Arm. lap'em `lick'; a direct connection with OCS lobъzati, Russ. lobzátь `kiss' (IE -uǵ-) is improbable. Further s. λάπτω. - The connection with λάπτω seems certain; this rather confirms Pre-Greek origin.Page in Frisk: 2,91-92Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λαφύσσω
