Proto-Balto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂wéh₂ (compare Proto-Germanic *lawwō), with accent retraction due to Hirt's law. Hirt's law was undone in the Latvian and West Slavic dialects. In Lithuanian dialects, the tendency to generalize the root accent prevailed. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
