"lemti" meaning in Lithuanian

See lemti in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Forms: lémti [canonical], lẽmia [present, third-person], lė́mė [past, third-person]
Etymology: Cognate with Latvian lem̃t (“to decide, determine, predestine”), Old Prussian limtwei (“to break”). Further related to Proto-Slavic *lomìti (“to break”), which retains the original meaning of the root; see there for more. Semantic development could be mediated by an intermediate stage meaning "to separate, divide"; compare Latin dēcīdō, German entscheiden.
