Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The primary thematic present λέπω, from which all verbal forms were derived (λέλαμμαι, -λαπῆναι innovations after ἔστραμμαι, στραφῆναι etc.), has no direct agreements outside Greek. There are a few nominal formations, which resemble the Greek forms: Lith. lãpas leaf, Alb. lapë rag, leaf, peritoneum (: λοπός), Lith. lõpas rag, piece (: λῶπος; also OE lōf m. band of the forehead??, Holthausen IF 32, 340), with Russ. lápotь shoe of bark (lapotók rag, piece); quite doubtful OE leber, læfer f. rush, cane, metal plate (: λέπρα?; Holthausen IF 48, 255). With λέπος one compared also Lat. s-stem lepōs fine-ness, delicacy, and the Slav. extension in Russ. lépest rag, piece, leaf of a flower. Given the productivity of these formations and the varying meanings we may have parallel creations. - Further, partly very doubtful and debated forms in WP. 2, 429f., Pok. 678, W.-Hofmann s. lepidus, Fraenkel Lit. et. Wb. s. lãpas, lõpas, also lèpti be coddled, Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. lépest, lápotь, lópotõk; with rich lit. - We can safely conclude that the verb is not IE: there is hardly a formal agreement, nor does the meaning agree well. So the verb will be Pre-Greek. Note the forms λεπάγιον, λεπακινός, λέπασμα, λέπυρον, λεπύχανον, λέπρα, λώψ, λῶπος etc. The verb may be compared with ὀλόπτω and ὀλούφω, which would also point to a non-IE word.
