"λάμπη" meaning in Ancient Greek

See λάμπη in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /lám.pɛː/, /ˈlam.pi/, /ˈlam.bi/, /lám.pɛː/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈlam.pe̝/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈlam.pi/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈlam.pi/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈlam.bi/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: The connection with λάμπω (lámpō, “to lighten, glow”) does not explain the forms without nasal. These point to a Pre-Greek word. On the other hand, Furnée prefers connecting the word to Georgian ლოპო (loṗo, “sap, slime”) and its variants.
