λῑπᾰρής • (līpărḗs) m or f (neuter λῑπᾰρές); third declension

(of people):
1. persistent; persevering; indefatigable; tenacious
2. earnest in one's requests or demands; insistent
(of things, especially metonymically) tireless; ceaseless; zealous; assiduous
λιπαρής χείρ ― liparḗs kheír ― a zealous hand
