Etymology
Considering Cretan forms (ἀβλοπής (ablopḗs) for ἀβλαβής (ablabḗs) and ἀβλοπία (ablopía) for ἀβλαβεία (ablabeía)) βλαβ- perhaps resulted from βλαπ- by assimilation, but the interchanges α/ο and β/π are typical of Pre-Greek. See also βλάσφημος (blásphēmos), Latin mulcō (“I beat, maltreat”), Sanskrit मृच् (mṛc, “threatening or injury”) and मर्चयति (marcayati, “to hurt, injure”).
