The more poetic, dramatic word for 'leeg'. If your character in a story is being choked, you use **liig** for extra drama. If you're just complaining about a stiff neck from working OT, you use 'leeg'. It's the high-literature version of the body part that holds your heavy head up after a long day.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *liqəR.
