Diff. suggestion by Schulze KZ 42, 233 (= Kl. Schr. 372): to Lat. [[rabies]] with old dissimilation (Schwyzer 258) like <b class="b3">ἄκρος</b> : [[aciēs]], <b class="b3">μακρός</b>, [[macer]] : [[maciēs]] etc. The dissimilation would have to be older than the proth. vowel before <b class="b3">ρ-</b>; (improbable); cf. Bq s. v. Fur. compares <b class="b3">λαμυρός</b> [[gluttonous]] (208), <b class="b3">λαφύσσω</b> [[swallow]] (177), <b class="b3">λαῦρος</b> f.l. for <b class="b3">λάβρος</b> (242); uncertain. If <b class="b3">λαβραξ</b> is typical, it seems Pre-Greek.
