[[lībāre]] as [[taste]], [[sip]] (Prellwitz, WP. 2, 391) must be abandoned, as this meaning developped from <b class="b2">pour out (a little)</b>, s. W.-Hofmann s. v. Also the further connection with <b class="b3">ὀλιβρός</b> [[slippery]], [[smooth]], with which Germ., e.g. MHG [[slīpen]], OHG [[slīfan]] [[drag]], [[glide]] (Bq, WP. l.c., Hofmann Et. Wb.) is not very convincing.
