Remarks | 'Lachs' from same source as produced Old English 'laex', Swedish 'lax', Yiddish 'laks', English 'lox' and Russian 'losos' (i.e., smoked salmon) borrowed from Anglo-Norman 'saumoun' from Latin 'salmo, -onis' linked to 'salire', i.e., to jump and hence, the leaping fish (p. 454 in Ref. 11979). |
