"λυκάβας" meaning in Ancient Greek

See λυκάβας in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ly.ká.baːs/, /lyˈka.βas/, /liˈka.vas/, /ly.ká.baːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /lyˈka.bas/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /lyˈka.βas/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /lyˈka.vas/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /liˈka.vas/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Often derived from an unattested *λύκη (*lúkē, “light”) + *βᾱ́ς (*bā́s, “going”) (seen in βιβᾱ́ς (bibā́s)), as “path of light”, but Beekes finds this unconvincing. He rather suggests a Pre-Greek origin, in view of the alternative form with "μ" and the suffix "-αντ-".
