"λείτωρ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See λείτωρ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /lěː.tɔːr/, /ˈli.tor/, /ˈli.tor/, /lěː.tɔːr/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈli.tor/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈli.tor/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈli.tor/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈli.tor/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Because of the form λητῆρες (lētêres), which is ascribed to the northwestern Athamanes, this word may be a loan from Boeotian. For this reason, the semantically attractive connection with λειτουργός (leitourgós, “religious minister”), which is from λαός (laós, “people”), presents difficulties. According to Beekes, the word could be Pre-Greek.
