"λίθος" meaning in Ancient Greek

See λίθος in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /lí.tʰos/, /ˈli.θos/, /ˈli.θos/, /lí.tʰos/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈli.tʰos/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈli.θos/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈli.θos/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈli.θos/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Has been compared to λεῖος (leîos, “smooth”), λιτός (litós, “simple, plain”), Latin laedō (“to strike, hurt”), and Lithuanian slidùs (“slippery, slick”). Beekes argues for a Pre-Greek origin, noting that words for "stone" are often taken from a substrate language.
