free (v.)
O.E. freogan "to free, liberate, manumit," also "to love, think of lovingly, honor," from freo (see free (adj.)). Cf. O.Fris. fria "to make free;" O.S. friohan "to court, woo;" Ger. befreien "to free," freien "to woo;" O.N. frja "to love;" Goth. frijon "to love." Related: Freed; freeing.
To love - to lieve - to liebe
This word comes up as lieve too.
lieve - maybe like in be-lieve
Finnish[edit] Etymology
Considered of Baltic origin, related to eg. Latvian klepis (“lap”). Distribution of the word within Baltic Finnic is limited to the northern languages, e.g. Veps lebe
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lieve
The Liebe - the Lieve = lap....this must come from the lep part equalling liebe (love) - Lap seems it might actually equal something like liebe/lieve/love....through Latvian klepis.
From Middle High German liebe (“the quality of love, pleasure, joy, favour, love”) , from Old High German liob / lioba (“fortune, health, pleasantness, joy”), from Proto-Germanic *leubn- / *leubo (“love”), from Proto-Indo-European *lub?- (“to enjoy, to long for”).

A people called the Libu could even mean liebe imo, that description equalled what free people were and enjoyed
I think these words can be the same. That liberal came from the word Liebe.
liberal (adj.)
late 14c., from O.Fr. liberal "befitting free men, noble, generous," from L. liberalis "noble, generous," lit. "pertaining to a free man," from liber "free," from PIE base *leudheros (cf. Gk. eleutheros "free"), probably originally "belonging to the people" (though the precise semantic development is obscure), from *leudho- "people" (cf. O.C.S. ljudu, Lith. liaudis, O.E. leod, Ger. Leute "nation, people").
I said before I think this is the base of Priams name.
I also think that liberal and free could be the same word deep down.
free (adj.)
O.E. freo "free, exempt from, not in bondage," also "noble; joyful," from P.Gmc. *frijaz (cf. O.Fris. fri, O.S., O.H.G. vri, Ger. frei, Du. vrij, Goth. freis "free"), from PIE *prijos "dear, beloved," from base *pri- "to love" (cf. Skt. priyah "own, dear, beloved," priyate "loves;" O.C.S. prijati "to help," prijatelji "friend;" Welsh rhydd "free"). The adverb is from O.E. freon, freogan "to free, love."
Here we have a mix of both those above meanings mixed in to create FREE. I think they are basically all the same words and meanings. Love, noble, freedom, joy, people.
Lieve - Love/life Liber - the people, free noble, generous.
Free - joyful to love and also noble.
The Liber/Lieve/liede/Lap was free, joyful and noble and full of pleasure, joy and love.
Enough for me for tonight.
