λιμπάνω

Ancient Greek

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *leykʷ-, though the exact process of derivation is uncertain. It is perhaps inherited from Proto-Indo-European *linékʷti, whence also perhaps Old Armenian լքանեմ (lkʻanem).[1][2] However, the linguist Lucien van Beek has argued that the term may be a productive formation created on the basis of the aorist ἔλιπον (élipon).[3]
