Thayer's Greek Lexicon
λαμά [RG (on the accent see Tdf Proleg. 102)] in Mt. xxvii. 46 and Aaupa [RG] Mk. xv. 34, (the Hebr. word 719 fr. Ps. xxi. (xxii) 1), why; in the former pass. Lehm. reads λημά, in the latter λεμά, Tdf. λεμά in both, Tr WH λεμά in Mt. but λαμά in Mk.; the form in nor ε reproduces the Chald. 829 or 79; on the remarkable diversity of spelling in the codd. ef. Taf. on each pass., [WH on Mt. |. c.], and Fritzsche on Mk. p. 693.
Abbott-Smith Greek Lexicon
