Old French[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Adjective[edit]
lé m (oblique and nominative feminine singular lee)
Noun[edit]
lé oblique singular, m (oblique plural lez, nominative singular lez, nominative plural lé)
Descendants[edit]
- French: lé
Old Norse[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Germanic *lewô, whence also Middle Low German lē, lēhe. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewH- (“to cut”), whence also Ancient Greek λαῖον (laîon, “scythe”).
Noun[edit]
lé m (genitive ljá, plural ljár)
Declension[edit]
The word declines as one would expect a weak masculine noun with the stem lé-, but is affected in late West Norse (but not in the Faroe Islands) in all forms except the nominative singular by the regular phonetic change éa > já. In the nominative the regular case ending -i is assimilated into the long é. This also causes awkward application of the suffixed article in the accusative and genitive singular, where one would normally expect its i to be elided in favour of the weak case ending -a (without the change éa > já, these would be *léann and *léans); the accusative singular with suffixed article is attested as ljáinn in Flateyjarbók (late 14th century). Note also that the forms may not all be attested.
Descendants[edit]
- Icelandic: ljár m
- Faroese: líggi m
- Norwegian Nynorsk: ljå m
- Elfdalian: ljå m
- Old Swedish: lē, lie
- Swedish: lie c (m), lia c (m or even f), in dialects also le, lej, ljå, ljo, lö
- Danish: le c, (archaic) jå c
