Interestingly, the word (glossed 'to have bent') is cited by Vasmer and
Pokorny (and presumably by the sources in their references, but not by
Fraenkel), but it hasn't found its way to LKZ^ (or any specilalized
dialectal dictionary I got to hand). What has, however, are:
láive:ti 'entangle;lie flat (of plants)' and láivos 'broadening upwards
framework put on a sledge to widen it and increase its capacity)', both
with acute.
