"lubją" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See lubją in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈlub.jɑ̃/
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *lubʰ-yo-, from *lewbʰ- (“herb”), and cognate with Proto-Celtic *lubī (“herb, plant”). The root is likely equivalent to *lewbʰ- in the "peel, break, damage" sense (likely whence Proto-Germanic *laubą (“leaf”)), which itself has been further derived from a Proto-Indo-European *lew- (“to cut, remove, prune, separate”); the semantic development would be something like "peeled-off plant matter" > "herb" > "potion (made from herbs)". The sense of love potion is influenced by similar forms from the unrelated *lubō (“love”).

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Indo-European *lubʰ-yo-, from *lewbʰ- (“herb”), and cognate with Proto-Celtic *lubī (“herb, plant”). The root is likely equivalent to *lewbʰ- in the \"peel, break, damage\" sense (likely whence Proto-Germanic *laubą (“leaf”)), which itself has been further derived from a Proto-Indo-European *lew- (“to cut, remove, prune, separate”); the semantic development would be something like \"peeled-off plant matter\" > \"herb\" > \"potion (made from herbs)\".\nThe sense of love potion is influenced by similar forms from the unrelated *lubō (“love”).",
