Proto-Celtic
Etymology
Matasović proposes that the term comes from Proto-Indo-European *sley-bʰo-, with the root as Proto-Indo-European *sley- (“to smear”), so the meaning would have been 'slippery surface, slope'. He concludes, however, that the semantic connection is weak.[1]
Noun
*sleibos n[1]
- slope
