Ἀπολάψεις

If it is a)pole/yeis with the epsilon, that is a)polepi/seis ["you will peel"]. Having peeled the shell. Having peeled [her] just like an egg.¹ But if [it is] a)pola/yeis ["you will lap up"], [it means] you would quaff. From the metaphor of dogs, and any other creatures which drink by lapping. It later comes [to mean] you will enjoy, you will snatch eagerly, you will drag away. Homer [writes]: "to lap up with tongues".² And Aristophanes in Clouds [writes]: "knowing you will lap him up as quickly as you can".³
