Etymology: With λαμυρός cf. γλαφυρός, βδελυρός a. o.; λάμ-ιᾰ with retained -ιᾰ as in πότνια (Schwyzer 473, Chantraine Form. 98). With λαμυρός Walde (LEW2 420) compares Lat. lemurēs `ghosts hovering around of those, who died at a wrong time or who died a forceful death'. I see no basis for these speculations; see Frisk. Formally comparison with Gr. λαμ- seems hardly possible. - From λάμια Lat. lamia f. `vampyr'; further lamium n. `dead nettle', from *λάμιον ? (The form λαμος `cleft', sch. Hor. Ep. 1, 13, 10 does not exist). - Further WP. 2, 434, W.-Hofmann s. lemurēs, la-mium. Here also λαιμός (s.v.)? - Fur. (index) mostly connects Lemures (above); further he connects λάβρος, which is possible but uncertain. The word with -υρ- may well be Pre-Greek.
