lasis

Etymology
Traditionally related to 🇨🇬 (dialectally attested as, ), perhaps because of the drop-like little spots on a salmon's scales, from.

Another suggestion is that this term comes from, referring to the mating habits of salmons, swimming and leaping upstream; but the final k leaves the s in the Baltic and Slavic forms unexplained. One would have to assume parallel forms, for this stem.

Cognates include 🇨🇬,, 🇨🇬 (probably a misspelled ), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, Proto-Germanic (🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, ), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.
