*lībaną
Runic: ᛚᛁᛒᚨᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈliː.βɑ.nɑ̃/verb · Strong class 1
Meanings
to remain, to be left
Etymology
According to Kroonen from Proto-Indo-European *leyp- (‘to stick’), although the appearance of the voiced (unstressed) Verner alternant b is unexpected. The verb may be back-formed from an older verb with the voiced alternant, such as *libjaną.
Less likely, from Proto-Indo-European *leykʷ- (‘to leave, remain, be left’).
See also *librō (‘liver’).
