Adjective

IPA: [ʎāūns]
Etymology: From the stem of the verb ļaut (“to allow, to permit; to tolerate”) (q.v.), with a suffix *-no. The original meaning was probably “allowed (to do as s/he pleased), allowed (to let go)” (compare palaist (“to let go”), palaidnis (“naughty child”)). Cognates include Lithuanian liáunas, liaũnas (“flexible; slim, slender; weal; free, serene”).
