Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Kroonen, from Proto-Indo-European *lubʰ-tu-s, from *lewbʰ- (“to peel, break off, damage”) (whence also *laubą (“leaf”)); this may be linked to Russian луб (lub, “bast”), Old Prussian lubbo (“bast, plank”) and therefore have an original meaning of "roof (fashioned from peeled bark)".[1] The Indo-European root has been taken as an extension of a root *lew- (“to cut away, remove, prune”).
