===Notes===
Due to phonetic similarity to [[Contionary:lubba|lùbba]] "spider", there is a strong cultural association between witchcraft and spiders in Niemish folklore.
Although it contains the still-productive root ''{{term|lise#Niemish|líse}}'' ("craft, skill"), the word is fossilised and not synchronically analysed as a compound.
