[[bass]], [[Labrax lupus]] (Alc., com.; Chantraine Formation 381, Björck Alpha impurum 262, Strömberg Fischnamen 34 f.; Thompson Fishes s. v.) with [[λαβράκιον]] (com.); [[λάβριχος]] (Böot., IIa); s. Lacroix Mél. Boisacq 2, 51. Abstracts: [[λαβροσύνη]] [[furiousness]], [[fierce arguing]] (AP, Opp.; Wyss <b class="b3">-συνη</b> 71), [[λαβρότης]] <b class="b2">id.</b> (Ath.) with <b class="b3">λαβροσιάων χορτασμοῦ ἀκόσμου</b> H. Denomin. verbs: 1. [[λαβρεύομαι]] [[discuss furiously]] (Ψ 474 a. 478), prob. after [[ἀγορεύω]] (Risch 282 f.; acc. to Debrunner Mus. Helv.2,199 rather after [[μωμεύω]], <b class="b3">ἐπι-λωβεύω</b>); 2. [[λαβρόομαι]] [[rush violently]] (Lyc.); 3. [[λαβράζω]] = [[λαβρεύομαι]] a.

(Debrunner IF 21, 244).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Of old connected with [[λαβεῖν]], [[λάζομαι]] (improbable). Diff. suggestion by Schulze KZ 42, 233 (= Kl. Schr. 372): to Lat. [[rabies]] with old dissimilation (Schwyzer 258) like [[ἄκρος]] : [[aciēs]], [[μακρός]], [[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 [[λαμυρός]] [[gluttonous]] (208), [[λαφύσσω]] [[swallow]] (177), [[λαῦρος]] f.l. for [[λάβρος]] (242); uncertain. If [[λαβραξ]] is typical, it seems Pre-Greek.
