"λεῖμαξ" meaning in Ancient Greek

See λεῖμαξ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /lêː.maks/, /ˈli.maks/, /ˈli.maks/, /lêː.maks/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈli.maks/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈli.maks/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈli.maks/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈli.maks/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Identical with Latin līmax (“snail”), which is probably a Greek loan, but also with Proto-Slavic *slimakъ (“snail”). Thus, it has to be a derivative in -ak- of the m-stem in Proto-Germanic *slīmą (“slime, mucus”), Latin līmus (“mud, slime”) and Ancient Greek λίμνη (límnē, “marsh”). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sley- (“smooth; slick; sticky; slimy”).
