"līną" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See līną in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈliː.nɑ̃/
Etymology: Likely from Proto-Indo-European *līno-. Cognates include Latin līnum and all its derivatives. Although Greek λίνον (línon), Latin linas, Russian лён (ljon) are sometimes listed as cognates, they actually derive from *lino- with a short /i/. Considering also the existence of a Latin root with a short /i/ and a /t/ (linteum), reconstruction of a common PIE protoform is impossible, and no similarly sounding terms are attested outside of Europe. If such roots were borrowed from one or several non-IE languages, locating the source is impossible because cultivation of linen was ubiquitous in the region since the Neolithic.
