|etymtx=Grammatical information: n. pl.<br />Meaning: <b class="b3">πέμματα</b>, <b class="b3">οἱ δέ σπέρματα</b>, <b class="b3">ἱερὰ ἀπάργματα</b> H.; <b class="b3">λαῖγμα τὸ ἱερόν</b> (Theognost. Can. 9);<br />Derivatives: Cf. <b class="b3">λάγματα</b> (Cyr., Phot.), <b class="b3">λαῖτμα θῦμα</b> H. (cod. <b class="b3">λαιτμάθημα</b>), also as v.l. (cod. Ven.) Ar. Av. 1563 beside <b class="b3">λαῖμα</b> in uncertain meaning; thus also Suid. with many interpretations (<b class="b3">αἷμα</b>, <b class="b3">λαιμός</b> etc.). Cf. (with <b class="b3">ὀλβ-</b> = <b class="b3">ὀλϜ-</b>) <b class="b3">ὀλβ-άχνιον</b> n. <b class="b2">basket for the ὀλαί</b> (EM 257, 53 [Syracus.]; on the formation cf. <b class="b3">πέταχνον</b> and Chantraine Form. 195; ?); also <b class="b3">ὀλβάχιον κανοῦν</b>. <b class="b3">Δεινόλοχος</b> H.; <b class="b3">ὀλβακήϊα</b> <b class="b2">id.</b> (Dor. after H. s. <b class="b3">εὔπλουτον κανοῦν</b>). <b class="b3">ὀλαγμεύειν ὀλὰς βάλλειν</b> Phot. with <b class="b3">ὀλαιμεύς ὁ</b> (cod. <b class="b3">τὸ</b>) <b class="b3">τὰς ὀλὰς βάλλων</b> H.; on <b class="b3">γ</b> λαίγματα <b class="b3">ι</b> s.v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 22. These words do not belong to <b class="b3">οὐλαί</b> (in spite of the suggestion of the gloss).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: No etymology. The variation <b class="b3">λα-</b>\/<b class="b3">λαι-</b> points to a Pre-Greek word. So does the variant <b class="b3">ὀλαγ-</b> (Furnée 337) and <b class="b3">ὀλβαχ-</b>, <b class="b3">ὀλβακ-</b>. The word may have had a labialised [[l]] ([[lʷ]]), before which the prothetic a- became [<b class="b3">ο</b>]; but it may just have been <b class="b2">-lw-</b>.
