Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *lapē (compare Old Prussian lape, Latvian lapsa), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wl(o)p ~ *h₂ulp (“(red) fox”); compare Welsh llywarn (“fox”), Breton louarn, Ancient Greek ἀλώπηξ (alṓpēx), Armenian աղվես (aġves), Albanian dhelpër. The traditional connection to Proto-Indo-European *(H)ulp- (“cat, marten”) (whence vilpišỹs (“wild cat”), Persian روباه (rubâh), and Latin vulpēs (“fox”)), is somewhat contested due to phonetic difficulties.[1]
