For Vulgar Latin *lūpus instead of the attested Latin lupus (which would have given **lov, compare Ligurian lô, Lombard lov/loff or Venetan lovo), also reflected by Italian lupo, perhaps imitative of the wolf's howling.

White Hmong
Etymology
From Proto-Hmong *ʔlɛŋᴮ (“short”), and cognate with Proto-Mien *ʔnəŋᴮ (“id”). Due to the n-l alternation between Mienic and Hmongic, a Chinese borrowing seems possible, though no plausible candidate has been found.[1]
