lis (plural lisses)

1. A ruse, a trick, a cunning plan.

• listig

• IPA^(key): /lis/

Most likely a formation after lëndë (“timber”), similarly to the connection of vis with vend. Alternatively, Orel suggests a borrowing from Proto-Slavic *lěsъ (“forest, woods”), whence Serbo-Croatian lȇs / ле̑с, Bulgarian лес (les), although in this case one would expect the auslaut to have undergone palatalization. Because of the /-i-/ < *-ě-, the Slavic dialect is identified as Ikavian.
