"liþuz" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See liþuz in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈli.θuz/
Etymology: Unknown, no known cognates outside Germanic. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *h₂el-, *leyH- (“to bend”). A relationship with Latin lituus is sometimes suggested, but is doubtful as it is likely a loanword from Etruscan. Given the variety of forms, which are difficult to reconcile as inherited, origin in a substrate language is possible.
