"λύσσα" meaning in Ancient Greek

See λύσσα in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /lýs.sa/, /ˈlys.sa/, /ˈli.sa/, /lýs.sa/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈlys.sa/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈlys.sa/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈlys.sa/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈli.sa/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Somewhat disputedly, thought to be equivalent to λῠ́κος m (lúkos, “wolf”) + -ια (-ia, abstract noun suffix) (but formed already in Proto-Hellenic, like ὄσσᾰ (óssa) and γλῶσσᾰ (glôssa), which is necessary to account for the sound shift), thus the original meaning would have been “the state of being wolfish”. Beekes maintains this etymology but, like Pokorny, considers the Greek root for “wolf” to be from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“to shine; light”) rather than *wĺ̥kʷos (“wolf”) with deformation. Compare the same root in such phrases as λευκαὶ φρένες· μαινόμεναι (leukaì phrénes; mainómenai, “raging, frenzied”, literally “glowing minds raving”) and λευκῶν πραπίδων· κακῶν φρενῶν (leukôn prapídōn; kakôn phrenôn, identical meaning, literally “of evil minds of glowing hearts”). The less commonly held comparison to λῡ́ω (lū́ō, “to untie, let loose”) is probably to be abandoned.

Compare the same root in such phrases as λευκαὶ φρένες· μαινόμεναι (leukaì phrénes; mainómenai, “raging, frenzied”, literally “glowing minds raving”) and λευκῶν πραπίδων· κακῶν φρενῶν (leukôn prapídōn; kakôn phrenôn, identical meaning, literally “of evil minds of glowing hearts”).\nThe less commonly held comparison to λῡ́ω (lū́ō, “to untie, let loose”) is probably to be abandoned.",
