Material: Av. urupi-s m. (*lupi-s) `Hund', raopi-s `Fuchs, Schakal', mpers. rōpās, npers. rōbāh `Fuchs' = ai. lopāśá- m. `Schakal, Fuchs'; arm. aluēs Gen. -esu `Fuchs';

lit. lãpė (*u̯lopē), lett. lapsa (synkopiert aus lapesa? idg. *u̯lopek̂ā?); vgl. lit. vilpišỹs `wilde Katze', das zu mpers. gurpak npers. gurba `Hauskatze' gestellt wird, aus iran. *u̯r̥pa-, idg. *u̯l̥pos;
