Varbūt kādam pie rokas ir latv. val. sinonīmu vārdnīca? Man nepieciešami daudz un dažādi sinonīmi vārdam 'lācis' latviešu valodā.

Explanation:
"Ķepainis" un "pekainis" ir mūsdienās samērā izplatīti.
Arī varianti "lācis ķepainis", "lācis pekainis".
Ar "pekaini" jāuzmanās, jo tas var būt arī uzvārds.

"Ķepkāju" atradu Karuļa etimol. vārdn. šķirklī "ķepa".

Explanation:
Manā rīcībā ir gan 1972., gan 1997. gadā izdota sinonīmu vārdnīca, bet "lācis" tajās vispār nav sastopams:( Tur ir tikai "lāčumāte" - "lācene".
