Usage notes

• Only the genitive, accusative and ablative forms of the singular are in ordinary use as a common noun, also confirmed by the grammarians' statements.
• The nominative singular ops is not in use other than as the name of the goddess; the dative op? is attested only once.
• The ablative singular is usually ope, but once op? in Varro (in giving an etymology) and op?d in an inscription, doubly unusual for having an i-stem ending augmented with the o-stem ablative /d/.

Third-declension noun.

Etymology

The origin of this word is unclear. Some derive it from Proto-Indo-European *l?p- (“cow”), but the only basis for this reconstruction is the Albanian cognate. Others consider it related to Gothic ???????????????? (lamb) (cf. German Lamm, English lamb), perhaps even a borrowing from a Germanic language. Yet others suggest that it comes from a putative Proto-Baltic *luop-, from Proto-Indo-European *leu- (“to cut off, to separate”) with an extra -p, with the meaning evolving from “cut off” > “to hide, to skin, to flay” (cf. Lithuanian lùpti (“to skin, to peel”)) > “hide, skin, fur, something made of fur” (cf. Hittite lupanni (“hat”)) > “animal body part” (cf. Old Church Slavonic ?????? (l?b?n?), Serbo-Croatian lùbina (“skull”)) > “animal.” The initial meaning of lops, still found dialectally, was more restricted, covering only goats, sheep and maybe cows. In the 18th and 19th century, the meaning was extended to almost all animals (= dz?vnieks), and later again restricted to its current range. Cognates include Lithuanian lúopas, lúobas (“clumsy person or animal”), Albanian lopë (“cow”) (< *l?p?).
