Leknius
LẼKNIUS
Etymology
Cf. Leknà, Leknỹs (see). The origin is unclear. Connection with Lieut. leknoti „alsuoti, iškišus liežuvį; pailsus tankiai, sunkiai alsuoti, gaudyti orą“ ¹ can only be guessed, because the possibility of borrowing is quite high, cf. polish Lechno (SSNO III 237), BRuss., Rus. Лахнo ².
