Lien

Etymology
From, from , from , from.

Hypothesised to be derived from, 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.

Noun

 * 1) line; cord
