  "etymology_text": "From an earlier *Lētuvā, possibly from an earlier *Lietā or *Lētā with the suffix + -uva, denoting a region (see Sūduva, *Jotuva (“region of the Yotvingians”)).\nFurther etymology uncertain and debated, with several proposed etymologies:\n* Most commonly, believed to have originated from the rivulet Lietauka from Old Lithuanian *Lietavà. Its etymology is unclear, but the root liet- likely comes from Proto-Balto-Slavic *l(e/o)ʔi-, ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *ley- (“to flow, pour, stream; to glide, slip, be slippery”), and is cognate with lietus (“rain”), lieti (“to pour”). It is an 11-kilometer-long rivulet in central Lithuania. According to Kazimieras Kuzavinis, this rivulet may have given its name to the surrounding territory, which includes nearby Kernavė, a medieval capital of Lithuania, and gradually expanded to become a name for the medieval Lithuanian state.\n* According to Jan Otrębski, from an old name of the Neman river, *Leitā, attested in Alytus, from Old Lithuanian *Leitā (“city on the Leita river”).\n* According to Simas Karaliūnas, from Old Lithuanian *lietā (“army, armed force”), from lieti (“to cast metal”), ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *ley- (“to flow, pour”).\n* According to Artūras Dubonis, from leitis (“member of a social group in service of the monarch in Medieval Lithuania”).\nPopular etymologies connect it with lietus (“rain”).",

  "etymology_text": "From an earlier *Lētuvā, possibly from an earlier *Lietā or *Lētā with the suffix + -uva, denoting a region (see Sūduva, *Jotuva (“region of the Yotvingians”)).\nFurther etymology uncertain and debated, with several proposed etymologies:\n* Most commonly, believed to have originated from the rivulet Lietauka from Old Lithuanian *Lietavà. Its etymology is unclear, but the root liet- likely comes from Proto-Balto-Slavic *l(e/o)ʔi-, ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *ley- (“to flow, pour, stream; to glide, slip, be slippery”), and is cognate with lietus (“rain”), lieti (“to pour”). It is an 11-kilometer-long rivulet in central Lithuania. According to Kazimieras Kuzavinis, this rivulet may have given its name to the surrounding territory, which includes nearby Kernavė, a medieval capital of Lithuania, and gradually expanded to become a name for the medieval Lithuanian state.\n* According to Jan Otrębski, from an old name of the Neman river, *Leitā, attested in Alytus, from Old Lithuanian *Leitā (“city on the Leita river”).\n* According to Simas Karaliūnas, from Old Lithuanian *lietā (“army, armed force”), from lieti (“to cast metal”), ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *ley- (“to flow, pour”).\n* According to Artūras Dubonis, from leitis (“member of a social group in service of the monarch in Medieval Lithuania”).\nPopular etymologies connect it with lietus (“rain”).",
