Latin

Etymology

Lua error: Module:checkparams:215: The template Template:PIE root does not use the parameter(s):

2=lendʰ

Please see Module:checkparams for help with this warning.

(deprecated template usage) Possibly through Osco-Umbrian (as the expected Latin form would be *lundus), from Proto-Italic *lonðwos, from Proto-Indo-European *lendʰ- (to enter, penetrate, expand).[1] Cognate with Old English lynd (fat, grease), lendenu (loins), Sanskrit रन्ध्र (rándhra). More at dialectal lend.
