"ἀλάβης" meaning in Ancient Greek

See ἀλάβης in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /aˈla.βis/, /aˈla.vis/, /aˈla.be̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /aˈla.βis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /aˈla.vis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /aˈla.vis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Unclear. Perhaps from Coptic ⲗⲉⲓϥⲓ (leifi, “fish of the Nile”). However, Furnée connects this word with similar names for fish, like ἔλλοψ (éllops) and ἀλλοπίᾱς (allopíās) and concludes that it is a Pre-Greek word. Demotic lbs (“fish of the Nile”), and its successor Coptic ⲗⲁⲃⲏⲥ (labēs), is certainly a reborrowing from Greek.
