*leykʷ-to leave*leyp-to stick; to be left over
verbStrong class 1to remain, to be leftAccording 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’).
