2 λύκος
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `wolf' (Il.) ; often metaph., a. o. as name of a kind of daw (Arist.; v. l. λύκιος, cf. Thompson Birds s. v.), of a fish (Hikes. ap. Ath.; Strömberg Fischnamen 105), = `hook, sting' (Plu., Poll.) etc.Compounds: Compp., e.g. Λυκό-(Ϝ)οργος \> Λυκοῦργος prop. "holding off the wolves " ( εἴργω), Λυκοσ-ούρα town in Arcadia, after the contraction Κυνοσ-ούρα (Risch IF 59, 266 w. n. 1); λυκ-αψός ( λύκ-) m., also - ψίς f., name of a venomous plant, `Echium italicum' (Nic., Dsc., Gal.), prop. "attacking wolves" (cf. Strömberg Wortstudien 100f. on χορδαψός), because of its poison as λυκο-κτόνον a. o. (Strömberg Pflanzennamen 66 u. 70 f.); but see s.v.Derivatives: Feminines: λύκαινα `she-wolf' (Arist.; after λέαινα etc.) with - αίνιον (Poll.; of a woman); λυκώ name of the moon (PMag. Par.); diminut.: λυκιδεύς m. `younger wolf' (Sol. ap. Plu., Theoc.; Boßhardt 65), λυκίσκος ἡ μη ἔχουσα ἀξονίσκον τροχαλία, τρῆμα δε μόνον H.; also PN (Schwyzer 542). Further: λυκέη, -ῆ `wolfsskin' (K 459 a.o.), λύκειος δορά `id.' (E. Rh. 208), substantiv. λυκεία f. (Plb. 6, 22, 3); λυκώδης `wolf-like' (Arist.), λυκηδόν `as a wolf' (A.), λυκηθμός `howling of wolves' (Anon. ap. Suid.; after μυκηθμός); λυκόομαι `be lacerated by wolves' (X.). On λύσσα s. v.Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1178] *u̯l̥kʷos `wolf'Etymology: With λύκος agrees formally exactly the Northgerm. name of the lynx, Swed. lō (PGm. * luha- from IE * luko-; s. 2. λύγξ). But of course one prefers to connect the widespread name of the wolf, which is preserved e. g. in Skt. vŕ̥ka-, Lith. vil̃kas, OCS vlьkъ, Goth. wulfs, Alb. ulk. With the resulting IE *u̯l̥kʷos can λύκος be combined if we assume, that the labiovelar coloured the preceding sonant with loss of the labialisation, cf. Schwyzer 298 and 352; s. also on κύκλος. A comparable problem gives Lat. lupus. Far remains however Arm. gayl (rather to Ir. gāel `wolf' with Fick 2, 259 a. o.). With the name of the wolf taboo-ideas may have played a part (Havers Sprachtabu 37ff.) which may have caused phonetic irregularities. Also for IE *u̯l̥kʷos such an origin is possible; the interpretation as `lacerater' (to u̯el(k)- `lacerate' not counting the labiovelar; s. Specht KZ 66, 26f.) remains hypothetic. - Details in WP. 1, 316f., Pok. 1178f., W.-Hofmann s. lupus, Vasmer s. volk; also Benveniste BSL 44, 53.Page in Frisk: 2,143-144Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λύκος
