Etymology[edit]

Bλάξ[4] ‎(bláx, “idiot”) is more phonographic; but Greek root BLAB[5] (of BLAPTŌ), meaning 'hurt', 'damage', 'mischievous harm', gives the sense here.

[0] means 'Absolutely not; [1] means 'Exceedingly unlikely'; [2] means 'Very dubious'; [3] means 'Questionable'; [4] means 'Possible'; [5] means 'Probable'; [6] means 'Likely'; [7] means 'Most Likely' or *Unattested; [8] means 'Attested'; [9] means 'Obvious' - only used for close matches within the same language or dialect, at linkable periods.
