As basis of the Greek system serves the present [[λήθω]], [[λάθω]]; beside this stands from the beginning the thematic zero grade aorist [[λαθεῖν]] and [[λελαθεῖν]], <b class="b3">-έσθαι</b> with the perf. midd. [[λέλασμαι]] and isolated nominal derivv., esp. the couple <b class="b3">λάθ-ρα</b> : <b class="b3">λαθ-ι-</b> (Schwyzer 447 f.); also the nasalpresent <b class="b3">λα-ν-θ-άνω</b> (beside [[λήθω]] which is in Hom. better attested) is perhaps an innovation (after [[μαθεῖν]]: [[μανθάνω]]?; Kuiper Nasalpräs. 156). -As in [[πύθω]] (:[[πύος]]), [[βρίθω]] (: [[βριαρός]]) also in [[λήθω]] the <b class="b3">-θ-</b> can be isolated as an added (present) element; a dentalless form seems indeed found in <b class="b3">λῃ̃το ἐπελάθετο</b> (beside <b class="b3">λήιτο ἐπε</b><[[λά]]>[[θετο]]) H. (on <b class="b3">-ι-</b> s. below). Thus connection with the synonymous Lat. <b class="b2">la-t-eō</b> [[be hidden]] becomes probable (cf. for the formation the opposite <b class="b2">pat-eō</b>; s. also on [[δατέομαι]]). - Other combinations are because of the meaning either very uncertain or wrong: Toch. A <b class="b2">lä(n)t-</b>, B <b class="b2">lät-</b>, <b class="b2">lant-</b> [[go out]] (Pedersen Tocharisch 173), Slav.: OCS [[lajati]] [[ἐνεδρεύειν]]' , Tchech. <b class="b2">lákati</b> [[persecute]] (hard to separate from identical verbs meaning [[ὑλακτεῖν]]' resp. [[desire]]; Germ. nouns as OWNo. [[lōmr]] [[treason]], [[deceit]], OHG [[luog]] [[hole]], [[lair]]. - For an original long diphthong <b class="b2">lāi-</b> are both [[λαίθαργος]] (which is Pre-Greek, s. v.) and <b class="b3">λῃ̃το</b> unreliable evidence; can <b class="b3">λῃ̃το</b> be from <b class="b2">*l̥h₂-to</b>? - On [[Λητώ]] s. v. - Further forms in Pok. 651, W.-Hofmann s.

(''AP'', ''APl''.) mit [[ληθεδανός]] = [[ληθαῖος]] (Luk.); Chantraine Form. 361 f. 4. [[ἔκλησις]] (ω 485), [[ἐπίλασις]] (Pi. ''P''. 1, 46) [[das Vergessen]], von ἐκ-, ἐπιλήθειν; daneben vom Simplex das typologisch ältere [[λῆστις]] ib. (S., E. u. a.); Schwyzer 504, Chantraine 276, Holt Les noms d’action en -σις 36 f., Porzig Satzinhalte 196. — 5. [[λήσμων]] [[vergessend]], [[vergeßlich]] (Them.) mit [[λησμοσύνη]] (Hes. ''Th''. 55; nach [[μνημοσύνη]]; auch S. ''Ant''. 151 [lyr.]); [[ἐπιλήσμων]] ib.

Als Vorderglied in verbalen Rektionskompp. : 1. [[λησίμβροτος]] [[die Menschen heimlich beschleichend]], [[Betrüger]] (''h''. ''Merc''.; Zumbach Neuerungen 24); 2. [[λαθίπονος]] [[das Leid vergessend]], [[vergessen machend]] (S. in lyr. u. hex.; Kreuzung mit λαθι-; Schwyzer 444); 3. [[λαθάνεμος]] [[dem Winde entgehend]] (Simon.). — Zu [[ἀληθής]], [[λήθαργος]] s. bes.; vgl. auch [[ἄλαστος]].<br />'''Etymology''' : Als Grundlage des griech. Formsystems dient im ganzen das hochstufige Präsens [[λήθω]], [[λάθω]]; an dessen Seite stehen indessen seit Beginn der Überlieferung die thematischen schwundstufigen Aoriste [[λαθεῖν]] und λελαθεῖν, -έσθαι mit dem Perf. Med. [[λέλασμαι]] und vereinzelten nominalen Ablegern, vor allem. dem Paar [[λάθρα]] : λαθι- (Schwyzer 447 f.); auch das Nasalpräsens λαν-θάνω (neben dem bei Hom. stärker belegten [[λήθω]]) ist vielleicht dazu neugebildet (nach [[μαθεῖν]]: [[μανθάνω]]?; Kuiper Nasalpräs. 156). —Wie in [[πύθω]] (:[[πύος]]), [[βρίθω]] ( : [[βριαρός]] u. a.) kann auch in [[λήθω]] das -θ- als ein hinzugetretenes (präsentisches) Element abgetrennt werden; eine dentallose Form scheint tatsächlich in λῇτο· ἐπελάθετο (neben λήιτο· ἐπε<λά>θετο) H. vorzuliegen (zu -ι- vgl. unten). Dadurch wird Anknüpfung glaubhaft an das synonyme lat. ''lă''-''t''-''eō'' [[verborgen]], [[versteckt sein]] (vgl. zur Bildung das Oppositum ''păt''-''eō''; s. noch zu [[δατέομαι]]). — Übrige Kombinationen sind u. a. wegen der Bed. als sehr unsicher oder verfehlt zu betrachten: toch. A ''lä''(''n'')''t''-, B ''lät''-, ''lant''- [[hinausgehen]] (Pedersen Tocharisch 173), slav.: aksl. ''lajati'' ’ἐνεδρεύειν’ , čech. ''lákati'' [[verfolgen]] (von den gleichlautenden Verba im Sinn von ’ὑλακτεῖν’ bzw. [[verlangen]] schwerlich zu trennen); germ. Nomina wie awno. ''lōmr'' [[Verrat]], [[Betrug]], ahd. ''luog'' [[Höhle]], [[Lager]]. — Für einen ursprünglichen Langdiphthong ''lāi''- sind sowohl [[λαίθαργος]] (s. d.) wie λῇτο ganz unzuverlässige Zeugen; bei dem medialen λῇτο erweckt überhaupt die anzunehmende Hochstufe (trotz [[εὖκτο]], στεῦτο) ernste Bedenken. — Zu [[Λητώ]] s. bes. —Weitere Formen m.
