Luf  ,, ‘air, breeze,’ from the   and  luft,  and ; a common  term;   luftus,  lopt,  lyft ( lift,  only),  luft,  lucht, ‘air’. Whether lopt, ‘loft’, is a derivative of the same word remains dubious; nor is it of any help in determining the  sense of the specifically  luftu-, especially as indubitable cognates in the non- languages are wanting.   ',, ', , ‘lie, falsehood,’ from the  luc (g), lüge (lügene),  lugin, ; an abstract of  ,  liegen,  liogan,   ‘to lie.’   lugina, ‘lie,’ from liogan,  leugen, logen, from liegen,  lyge ( lie), from leógan,  liugn, ‘lie,’ from liugan,   ‘to lie.’ —   ,, ‘liar,’ from lügenœre,  luginâri. To this common root lug (Aryan lugh), ‘to lie,’  liugan ( liugaida), ‘to marry,’ has no relation; the latter, like  logia, ‘to marry,’ is connected rather with  luige, ‘oath’ ( form lughio-). is more probably allied to lŭžą (lŭgati), ‘to lie,’ lŭža, ‘lie.’ From,   luchina, ‘false story,’ is derived.  ,, ‘to look out, spy,’ from the  luogen,  luogên; corresponding to  lôcôn,  lôcian,  to look, with an abnormal k for g. From these Norman luquer is borrowed. The early history of this West stem lôkai, lôgai-, is obscure.  ,, ‘dormer window, hole, hatchway,’ a  word meaning ‘opening’; allied to.  ,, ‘to lull,’ only; a recent onomatopoetic term.  ,, ‘lubber, scoundrel,’ first occurs in ; probably derived from the antiquated , ‘relaxed, loose,’ which is based on  lüeme,  luomi, ‘mild, languid’ ( lüemen, ‘to slacken, relax, be wearied’), and connected with.   ,, ‘scamp, ragamuffin,’ only;  identical with , , ‘rag, tatter,’ which in late  appears as lumpe with the same sense. It was probably introduced from ;  lomp, ‘rag, tatter, patch,’ lomperd, ‘lout’ (to this  leppr, ‘shield,’ is allied?);   and. — ,, ‘to treat or regard as a ragamuffin.’   ,, ‘lung,’ from the  lunge,  lungun ( lungunnâ), ; corresponding to the   *luggô,  lunga,  lungen,  lungs (  on account of the two lobes),  long. Some etymologists connect these cognates with the root ling, ‘to be light,’ which appears in  and. leve, ‘lung,’ from levis, ‘light,’  lights from light,  legkoe from legkij.  ,, ‘to seek prey, yearn,’ only; a derivative of the West  ,  lunger,  lungar, ‘speedy, quick,’  lungor, ‘quick,’ which, with  ἐλαφρός, ‘quick,’ is connected with the Aryan root lengh, discussed under the preceding word (see ).  ,, ‘sparrow’ , from the  hliuning. Origin obscure. <section end="Lüning" /> <section begin="Lünse" /> ,, ‘linch-pin,’ from the late  luns, lunse;   lunisa,  luns, lens. In lun, luna,  lun, lune,, also  luning,  lüninc, lüner, ‘lungs’;   lynes, ,  linch-pin ( *lunisi is wanting); it may have been formed like  aqizi, jukuzi. Some etymologists connect these cognates with the Aryan root lu, ‘to loosen,’ discussed under, so that is  ‘peg for loosening the wheel.’  further  âlynnan, ‘to release.’ <section end="Lünse" /> <section begin="Lunte" /> ,, ‘lunt, match,’ only; corresponding to  lonte,  lunt,  lunte. In earlier and in modern  it signifies ‘wick of a lamp’ ( ‘tow’?), allied to  lünden, ‘to burn’ ( lunda, ‘tallow’?). Further cognates are uncertain. — , ‘brush of a fox,’ is a figurative sense of, ‘lunt’ (i.e., from its fiery colour). <section end="Lunte" /> <section begin="lüpfen" /> , ‘to set free and then raise aloft,’ an, from the   lüpfen, lupfen. Since the word is not found in other languages ( *luppjan?), its origin cannot be discovered; perhaps it is connected with the cognates of.
