Middle Liddell

Λ, λ, λάμβδα λάβδα, τό, indecl., eleventh letter of the Gr. Alphabet: as a numeral λ#= 30, but #22λ = 30, 000.
1. attic λ is sometimes represented by π, as κλίβανος κρίβανος, γλώσσαλγος γλώσσαργος, ναύκραρος ναύκληρος, ἀλκ-ή ἀρκ-εῖν: so, ὁλᾷς Θέωλος κόλαξ were lisping pronunc. for ὁρᾷς Θέωρος κόραξ, Ar.
2. doric λ becomes ν, as, ἦνθον φίντατος for ἦλθον φίλτατος; whereas attic λ sometimes replaces ν, as, λίτρον πλεύμων for νίτρον πνεύμων.
3. initial λ is dropt, as εἴβω for λείβω, αἰψηρὸς ἀφύσσω ἄχνη for λαιψηρὸς λαφύσσω λάχνη.
4. epic Poets double λ, metri grat., esp. after the augment, as, ἔλλαβε ἐλλιτάνευε; and in compds., as in τρίλλιστος:—and Homer omits λ, where two come together, metri grat., as Ἀχιλεύς.
5. δ sometimes becomes λ, cf. δέλτα, II. 5.
6. γ and λ are interchanged in μόγις μόλις.
7. ν before λ becomes λ, as in συλλαμβάνω ἐλλείπω.
