That becomes German -loh, Dutch -loo, English -lea etc, not documented
in Scandinavia. There is an extensive literature on the
-leben/-lev/ -löv you might want to read.

Which?

I write more explicitly :

I am not saying lev, löv, leben is Germanic

I believe that lev, löv, leben are just the unsuffixed variant of *low-ko :

hence *low,

It might just be a western PIE language (like say Celtic) which gave these words to Germanic intruders. And in that language the word was not suffixed by -ko,

as in the other languages like Germanic or Lituanian.

Or it may also be Germanic : what is the reflex of *low-i for example ?
