köken: From Old Galician-Portuguese, from Latin lentus. The main sense of "slow" may be a learned one, as opposed to the original inherited meaning of "wet, humid", "moistened, soft", also found in the Old Spanish and Asturian equivalent. Compare also Galician lento and Asturian llentu.
slow (which moves so as to cover relatively small distances in every time interval) · slow (which does not happen quickly, swiftly) · slow (without much action, without much happening)
çekim: karşılaştırma lēnāks · üstünlük vislēnākais
zıt: ātrs, straujš, ašs, nikns
köken: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *lēnas, Proto-Indo-European *leh₁-en-os, from *leh₁- (“to let, to allow”) (whence also Latvian laist (“to let, to allow”), q.v.). The semantic evolution was probably: “which is allowed (to do something)” > “not dangerous, gentle, calm” > “slow.” Cognates include Lithuanian lė́nas (“slow, peaceful”), Proto-Slavic *lěnъ (“lazy, slow”), Latin lēnis (“gentle, slow”).
