The OED and EDD lemmatize this spelling rather than linnow (though perhaps only because it comes first alphabetically), but have only a few cites, only one of which uses this spelling: see Citations:lennow. I can only cite the word as linnow and with a somewhat different meaning. However, I can find several mentions, so it may exist; it's apparently also a name (or scanno for one) so it's hard to search for. - -sche (discuss) 21:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- From what I can see, this is just an alt form of linnow. For example, in Bye-gones (1904) the author states that "a person whose joints are lennow is naturally nimble and agile" in order to argue that "lennow" means flexible rather than nimble. Kiwima (talk) 23:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
