Proto-Semitic *LO ‛A --- *LAI-M-OS Greek
As roots of "laimos" are considered either "*λαι , lay" or "*ληι , lèy". There are many instances in which we find the Hebrew "ayin" corresponding with a Greek vowel-sound, especially A. In this case we also find in Hebrew the non-written vowel O, that may correspond with the Greek Y-sound. The M in "laimos" is not considered part of the root.
Note:
- Proto-Semitic . This brief root has its sisters in Semitic tongues. Aramaic and Syriac have "ל ו ע א , lu‛à" . Akkadian shows a "lū'u and "lētu = jaw". Proto-Semitic probably had a similar root, that might have been "*ל ע , L Ayin" or "*ל ו ע , L W Ayin".
Note:
- Indo-European . We have no indications for cognates in other Indo-European groups of languages.
