Ληΐνιος.

Betacode

*lhi/+nios.

This unglossed headword may be a corruption of lhnai=os, an epithet of Dionysus. Bernhardy adduced ps.-Zonaras' entry *lh/i+nos: u(/mnos. kai\ lh/naios *dio/nusos; "lêinos: a hymn. And [sc. also attested is] Lenaean Dionysus".
If not, it would be an adjective derived from lh/i+on "standing crop" or lhi+/h "plunder".
