Noun [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /lá.mi.a/, /ˈla.mi.a/, /ˈla.mi.a/, /lá.mi.a/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈla.mi.a/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈla.mi.a/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈla.mi.a/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈla.mi.a/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Beekes, from λαμυρός (lamurós, “avaricious, voracious, coquettish”), a Pre-Greek word probably related to λαιμός (laimós, “throat, gullet”). Others suggest a late Proto-Indo-European stem *lem- (“ghost, nocturnal spirit”) that was ultimately borrowed from a substrate language such as Etruscan or Anatolian. Compare Latin lemures (“ghosts of the departed”).
