":As we saw earlier, in Greek there's nothing for that laid- form besides obscure glosses/rare words such as laidon, ""renowned"" and that other word meaning ""insolent"" (which doesn't fit these names). I looked through Perseus and my Liddel & Scott book. I connect laidas to laidon (=euonumon), and its presence in Spartan (far from Illyrians, but the Dorians migrated from the north) & Illyrian (see also Laedo, Laedus etc.) is mysterious. Anybody else have more info on this? Did Cabej & that other linguist not know about Sthenelaidas? It's likely they didn't, he's not exactly famous these days.
