Usage notes
This was likely already a rare word in Proto-Germanic, as it survives only in a single direct attestation in Gothic. However, the verb survives indirectly in the derived causative *laizijaną (“to teach”) and the Proto-West Germanic fientive *liʀnōn (“to learn”) and therefore its existence can be reconstructed securely. The forms given here are uncertain however.
Derived terms
- *laizijaną
