Old English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-West Germanic *lauh, from Proto-Germanic *lauhaz, from Proto-Indo-European *lówkos.
The use of the word meaning "meadow" is a later development of the word, possibly aided by confusion between lēas (plural of the original meaning of lēah) with lǣs (modern lease, leasow).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
lēah m or f (nominative plural lēas)
