/laɪ̯p/

From Middle High German leip, from Old High German hleib, from Proto-West Germanic *hlaib. Cognate with English loaf, Polish chleb, Russian хлеб (xleb). The spelling with -ai- follows the old Upper German orthography; it was advocated by grammarians such as Gottsched in order to distinguish from Leib (“body”).
