|etymtx=Grammatical information: adj.<br />Meaning: adjunct of [[ὀλός]] ('turbid liquidity' AP 15, 25, 1), of [[νύξ]] (EM 564, 49: [[dark]] or [[humid]]), of [[σέλας]] (Trag. Adesp. 232); by Erot. explained as <b class="b3">σκοτεινὸς καὶ μέλας</b> (to Hp. Aër. 15, where codd. <b class="b3">διερῳ̃</b> and <b class="b3">θολερῳ̃</b>, of [[ἠήρ]]?).<br />Other forms: with nasal [[λιμβρός]] (EM564, 52; Suid.)<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: "The usual connection with [[λείβω]] presupposes a semantic shift which is possible with this poetic and rare word." (Frisk). Fur. 287 n. 68 notes that the prenasalization could be due to late-Greek/Byzantine nasalization. (I see nothing in Fur. 240, 287: comparison with [[λιαρός]].)
