Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/leb-

Reconstruction
The reconstruction is uncertain, and contains the rare PIE phoneme. A secondary form also exists, with a variety of labials standing in for P. Moreover, the Iranian initial l- is irregular. The root therefore probably originates from a language or is  (imitative of e.g. licking, smacking lips).
