▪ I. lampas, n.1|ˈlæmpəs|
Forms: 6 lampysse, 6–7 lampasse, 7 vulg. lamprey(e)s, 8 lampars, lampra(y)s, lampus, 8–9 lampers, 6– lampas.
[a. F. lampas (in 16th c. also lampast), in 12–15th c. gen., a disease producing intense thirst (e.g. attributed to ‘Dives’ in hell), later only a disease of horses.
The origin is obscure. The primary sense may be ‘inside of the mouth’; this is not proved by the existence of the phrase humecter le lampas ‘to wet one's whistle’, but cf. lampassé (Her.) ‘langued’ (see lampassing); some Fr. dialect glossaries, also, have the word with the sense ‘uvula’. Florio has It. lampasco as the name of the disease, and Littré cites a Fr. dial. form empas, which is due to mistake of the initial l for the article.]
A disease incident to horses, consisting in a swelling of the fleshy lining of the roof of the mouth behind the front teeth.

Also 4 lawmpas, 6 lampors.
[The combination lampas douck (Du. doek cloth) in the second quot. suggests that the word may be adopted from Du.; the recorded form in MDu. and early mod.Du. is lampers (cf. the Eng. form lampors); mod.Du. has lamfer (the MDu. lamfeter, denoting some appurtenance of a hawk, is identified with this by Verwijs and Verdam, but with doubtful correctness). The etymology is quite obscure; derivation from Gr. λαµπρός, shining, was suggested in the 16th c. In sense 2 the Eng. word is a. F. lampas, recorded only from the 18th c., and possibly a different word.]
