See λύγξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /lýŋks/, /lyŋks/, /liŋks/, /lýŋks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /lyŋks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /lyŋks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /lyŋks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /liŋks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *lúnks, from Proto-Indo-European *lú(n)ḱs (“lynx”), probably from a nasal-infixed palatal variant of the root *lewk- (“white; light; bright”), because of the cat's seemingly glowing eyes and ability to see in the dark. Compare Proto-Germanic *luhsaz, Lithuanian lū́šis, Old Armenian լուսանունք (lusanunkʻ, “lynxes”)), and for the sense of "light," λευκός (leukós), Sanskrit रोचते (rocate), Middle Persian 𐭩𐭥𐭬 (rōz [YWM], “day”) and Old English lēoht (noun; English light).
