*slimbaz

Runic: ᛊᛚᛁᛗᛒᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈslim.bɑz/

adjective · a-stem

Meanings

aslant; sloping
askew; crooked; wrong

Etymology

Uncertain, but possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *(s)lembʰ-, *(s)lemb- (‘to droop; sag; hang loosely’). Compare Latvian slìps (‘slanting’), as well as perhaps Proto-Germanic *slīpaną (‘to sharpen’) (though whether *slimbaz ultimately traces back to Proto-Indo-European *sley- (‘smooth, slick’) is unclear).
