Particularly: “Itineraria Phoenicia by Edward Lipiński claims the existence of the Proto-Semitic root and identifies it with لفقة, but does not indicate what that root might be.”

Calque of Ancient Greek Λέπτις μεγάλη (Léptis megálē), from either Punic 𐤋𐤐𐤒 (lpq) or Punic 𐤋𐤐𐤒𐤉 (lpqy), hypothesized to derive from Proto-Semitic (“construction”); compare Arabic لفقة (“to invent, fabricate, or assemble”).
