λύω

Etymology
From, but after Beekes. Cognates include 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 and possibly 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

According to Beekes the stem vowel was originally short (λῠ-), to be lengthened only later in Attic (and sometimes in Homer; λῡ-) due to the influence of a laryngeal. The remains short (ῠ) before temporal endings beginning with &lt;κ, θ, μ> and at all  (derivatives). But compounds' prosody, as for λῡ́ω.

Derivatives, from stems λῠσ-, λῠσῐ- (compounds with λῡσῐ-), λῠτ-.
