In this direction I was thinking too but the problems are here:
levare > leare > lea.
léa > liea > l'iea > iiea > iea > ia
In this way the derivation from "levare" is clear. The sg. conj. to stem
/ia-/ are as usual 1=/-u/, 2=/-i/, 3=/-a/
ia+u > iau, ia+i > iai , ia+a > ia.
Thus the sg conjugation is absoltuely OK. The plural one doesnt't fit
anymore.
How you said from "leware" to "lua" should be a Katzensprung, but it is
not.
You cannot go back to "lu" from "ie". Here I fail to see how about.
