λύω
Ancient Greek
Etymology 1
From Proto-Indo-European *lewh₃- (“to cut off, separate, free”). Cognates include Latin luō (“expiate, pay”), Sanskrit लून (lūna), English loose and possibly Old Armenian լուծանեմ (lucanem) and Albanian lirë.
- Stem λῠ-, and later Attic: λῡ-. The upsilon becomes short (ῠ) before temporal endings beginning with <κ, θ, μ> and at all paragoga (derivatives). But compounds' prosody, as for λῡ́ω.
- Derivatives, from stems λῠσ-, λῠσῐ- (compounds with λῡσῐ-), λῠτ-.
- Unrelated to κωλῡ́ω (kōlū́ō, “prevent”), ὄλλῡμῐ (óllūmi, “destroy, lose”) or λύσσᾰ (lússa, “rage”).
