You know what I realize Orphic with Lamsas quote ? That the monotonic system destroying our language!!!

[Orphic_Hymn]

Don't know re su, you might be right but... look at Apollodorus at Perseus.tufts

So being again pursued he came to Thrace, and in fighting at Mount Haemus he heaved whole mountains. But when these recoiled on him through the force of the thunderbolt, a stream of blood gushed out on the mountain, and they say that from that circumstance the mountain was called Haemus.6

Now look at note 6:

Haemus, from haima (blood); hence “the Bloody Mountain.” It is said that a city of Egypt received the same name for the same reason (Stephanus Byzantius, s.v. hêrô).

I have 5 lexicon (one electronic) and none of them give any kind of etymology as about the name Haemus.
