Proto-Norse

Romanization

līna

Swahili

Verb

lina

1. ji-ma class subject inflected singular present affirmative of -wa na

Swedish

Etymology

From Old Norse lína, from Proto-Germanic *līnǭ (“line, rope, flaxen cord, thread”), from *līną (“flax”).

Hypothetised to be derived from Proto-Indo-European *līno- (“flax”), although it's impossible to reconstruct a common PIE protoform due to discrepancies with other European branches and absence of cognates outside of Europe.

If originally a non-IE loanword, locating the source is impossible because cultivation of linen was widespread in the region since the Neolithic.
