Other forms: ἐλλυτίς (for -της?) πλακοῦς τις H., εἰλύτας acc. pl. (Boeotia), ἐλύτης (gramm.)
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]
Etymology: Connected with εἰλύω (s. v.), either from the verbal stem (Ϝ)ελυ- or from the present-stem Ϝελνυ- or the perfect stem ϜεϜλυ-. Other attempts to accomodate the different forms by Solmsen Unt. 240. Also Bechtel Dial. 1, 304. The connection with εἰλύω may well be wrong; the interchange λ/λλ rather points to a Pre-Greek word; so the word will have started with *ely-
