lind

(transitive) to give birth, bear (child)

Helmut Rix
Lexikon der indogermanischen Verben
Vladimir Orel

Whatever the origin, it undisputedly a parallel formation to lej (“to give birth; to be born”). Likely from Proto-Indo-European *li-né-d-ti ~ *li-n-d-énti, a nasal-infixed present from the root *leyd- (“to release”). Alternatively from the root *h₂el- (“to grow, nourish”), though the formal composition is unclear.
