@JohnC5: isn't it λαός + τύχη + -ίδης? --Barytonesis (talk) 08:33, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Barytonesis: Good enough for me! —JohnC5 08:38, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Barytonesis, JohnC5: I would've expected that to yield *Λᾱοτῠχῐ́δᾱς (*Lāotŭkhĭ́dās) in Doric. λεώς (leṓs) comes from quantitative metathesis in Attic, so it shouldn't appear in the Doric. I would suggest it's related to λέων (léōn), but the ν (n) shouldn't vanish. Is there a source for the Doric form? Maybe it really is Λᾱοτῠχῐ́δᾱς (Lāotŭkhĭ́dās). — Eru·tuon 09:08, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Erutuon: Yes, it has crossed my mind as well. Another hypothesis might be that an Attic author (a tragic?) created the artificial Doric form Λεωτυχίδᾱς by simply applying the most obvious correspondance ᾱς::ης, but forgot that λεώς had to be changed as well. Also, the form Λᾱοτῠχῐ́δᾱς you're proposing is mentioned here, along with Ionic Λευτυχίδης (Leutukhídēs). --Barytonesis (talk) 09:17, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Barytonesis: I'll remove the current Doric form and add the forms listed on that webpage. It can be added again if there's a source for it. — Eru·tuon 22:06, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
