"Λίγυς" meaning in Ancient Greek

See Λίγυς in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /lí.ɡys/, /ˈli.ʝys/, /ˈli.ʝis/, /lí.ɡys/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈli.ɡys/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈli.ʝys/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈli.ʝys/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈli.ʝis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The name is of uncertain origin. Room suggests an Etruscan, Basque, or other language isolate ethnonym, hinted by the -sc- element found in older Latin forms ligusc*; Compare Latin Vascones and Etruscus. Imberciadori more recently connects it with Proto-Indo-European *(s)leyg- (“to smear, make smooth”), deriving possessive *(s)lig-wés- / *(s)lig-us- (“bright”) through an internally derived s-stem *(s)léig-us (“brightness”), from the semantics of Proto-Indo-European *(s)léyg-u- / *(s)lig-éw- (“flat, even; equal”).
