Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/laibijaną
Proto-Germanic
Etymology
By surface analysis, *lībaną + *-janą. Kroonen and the LIV alternatively suggest an inheritance from Proto-Indo-European *loyp-éye-ti, a causative formed from the root *leyp-.[1][2] This same causative may be the source of Sanskrit lepáyati and Proto-Slavic *lěpiti. However, the linguist Axel Palmér suggests that the Germanic form may be a later innovation due to the differing semantics between the Germanic term and the proposed cognates.[3]
