Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/līną

Etymology
Likely from.

Cognates include 🇨🇬 and all its derivatives.

Although, , are sometimes listed as cognates, they actually derive from  with a short /i/.

Considering also the existence of a Latin root with a short /i/ and a /t/, reconstruction of a common PIE protoform is impossible, and no similarly sounding terms are attested outside of Europe.

If such roots were borrowed from one or several non-IE languages, locating the source is impossible because cultivation of linen was ubiquitous in the region since the Neolithic.
