Origin: IE [Indo-European] [669] `let, leave behind'

Etymology: The thematic root aorist ἔ-λιπ-ε has exact parallels in Arm. e-lik', Skt. á-ric-a-t, IE *é-likʷ-e-t `he left'. With λέ-λοιπ-α agrees except the accent and the reduplication vowel Skt. ri-réc-a; without reduplication Germ., e.g. Goth. laiƕ, Lat. līqu-ī, IE *-loikʷ-. The nasalpresent λι-μ-π-άν-ω resembles best Arm. lk`-an-em (IE *likʷ-); nasalpresents of diff. formation are found also elsewhere, e. g. Skt. (3. sg.) ri-ṇá-k-ti, Lat. li-n-qu-ó. With the thematic root present λείπω agree Germ., e. g. Goth. leiƕan, OHG līhan `loan' (PGm. *līhu̯-) and Lith. liekù `let'; the last stands for older athemat. liek-mì. The Germ. present may go back on a nasalized *liŋhu̯-, which would agree with Lat. linquō. Note λοιπός beside the subst. Skt. ati-reka- m., Lith. ãt-laikas, OCS otъ-lěkъ `remainder' (IE *-loikʷ-o-); cf.
