Jakobson and Halle (1964) read the original manuscript as having a yod in place of the orthographically similar vav; it is disputed which the scribe intended.

From Middle High German liet, from Old High German liod (“song, lay, singing”), from Proto-West Germanic *leuþ (“song”), from Proto-Germanic *leuþą (“song”).
