#352 PTB *s-lyap LIGHTNING / FLASH / GLITTER / BUTTERFLY |
The semantic connection between LIGHTNING and BUTTERFLY seems to reside in the iridescent quality of many butterfly wings, as well as by the rapidity of their wings flapping.
Bauer (1992) has identified this root as a “pan-Southeast Asianism”, and relates it to #2790 PTB *g‑yaːp FAN / WINNOW / PADDLE / WAVE (v.).
Also undoubtedly related to this etymon is #2077 PTB *s‑lap WING / FLUTTER / EYELASH / GILL.
