Cf. {Lair}, {Law}, {Lay}, v. t., {Litter},       {Low}, adj.]       1. To rest extended on the ground, a bed, or any support; to             be, or to put one's self, in an horizontal position, or             nearly so; to be prostate; to be stretched out; -- often             with down, when predicated of living creatures; as, the             book lies on the table; the snow lies on the roof; he lies             in his coffin.                         The watchful traveler . . . Lay down again, and                      closed his weary eyes.                        --Dryden.          2. To be situated; to occupy a certain place; as, Ireland             lies west of England; the meadows lie along the river; the             ship lay in port.          3. To abide; to remain for a longer or shorter time; to be in             a certain state or condition; as, to lie waste; to lie             fallow; to lie open; to lie hid; to lie grieving; to lie             under one's displeasure; to lie at the mercy of the waves;             the paper does not lie smooth on the wall.          4. To be or exist; to belong or pertain; to have an abiding             place; to consist; -- with in.                         Envy lies between beings equal in nature, though                      unequal in circumstances.                  --Collier.                         He that thinks that diversion may not lie in hard                      labor, forgets the early rising and hard riding of                      huntsmen.                                          --Locke.          5.

(Law) To be sustainable; to be capable of being             maintained. [bd]An appeal lies in this case.[b8]             --Parsons.          Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers                often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay                and lie. Lay is a transitive verb, and has for its                preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I                laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its                preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay                down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the                preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid                down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid                at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was                laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to                remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit                of lay, and not of lie.          {To lie along the shore} (Naut.), to coast, keeping land in             sight.          {To lie at the door of}, to be imputable to; as, the sin,             blame, etc., lies at your door.          {To lie at the heart}, to be an object of affection, desire,             or anxiety. --Sir W. Temple.          {To lie at the mercy of}, to be in the power of.          {To lie by}.             (a) To remain with; to be at hand; as, he has the                   manuscript lying by him.             (b) To rest; to intermit labor; as, we lay by during the                   heat of the day.          {To lie hard} [or] {heavy}, to press or weigh; to bear hard.                      {To lie in}, to be in childbed; to bring forth young.          {To lie in one}, to be in the power of; to belong to. [bd]As             much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.[b8]             --Rom. xii. 18.          {To lie in the way}, to be an obstacle or impediment.          {To lie in wait}, to wait in concealment; to lie in ambush.                      {To lie on} [or] {upon}.             (a) To depend on; as, his life lies on the result.             (b) To bear, rest, press, or weigh on.          {To lie low}, to remain in concealment or inactive. [Slang]                      {To lie on hand},          {To lie on one's hands}, to remain unsold or unused; as, the             goods are still lying on his hands; they have too much             time lying on their hands.          {To lie on the head of}, to be imputed to.                         What he gets more of her than sharp words, let it                      lie on my head.                                 --Shak.          {To lie over}.             (a) To remain unpaid after the time when payment is due,                   as a note in bank.             (b) To be deferred to some future occasion, as a                   resolution in a public deliberative body.          {To lie to} (Naut.), to stop or delay; especially, to head as             near the wind as possible as being the position of             greatest safety in a gale; -- said of a ship. Cf. {To             bring to}, under {Bring}.          {To lie under}, to be subject to; to suffer; to be oppressed             by.          {To lie with}.             (a) To lodge or sleep with.             (b) To have sexual intercourse with.             (c) To belong to; as, it lies with you to make amends.

Liana          A {C}-like, interpretive, {object-oriented       programming} language, {class} library, and integrated       development environment designed specifically for development       of {application programs} for {Microsoft Windows} and {Windows       NT}.   Designed by Jack Krupansky of       {Base Technology}, Liana was first released as a commercial       product in August 1991.   The language is designed to be as       easy to use as {BASIC}, as concise as {C}, and as flexible as       {Smalltalk}.          The {OOP} {syntax} of {C++} was chosen over the less familiar       syntax of {Smalltalk} and {Objective-C} to appeal to {C}       programmers and in recognition of C++ being the leading OOP       language.   The syntax is a simplified subset of {C/C++}.   The       {semantics} are also a simplified subset of C/C++, but       extended to achieve the flexibility of Smalltalk.          Liana is a typeless language (like {Lisp}, {Snobol} and       {Smalltalk}), which means that the datatypes of variables,       function parameters, and function return values are not needed       since values carry the type information.   Hence, variables are       simply containers for values and function parameters are       simply pipes through which any type of value can flow.       {Single inheritance}, but not {multiple inheritance}, is       supported.   {Memory management} is automatic using {reference       counting}.          The library includes over 150 {classes}, for {dynamic arrays},       {associative lookup} tables, windows, menus, dialogs,       controls, bitmaps, cursors, icons, mouse movement, keyboard       input, fonts, text and graphics display, {DDE}, and {MDI}.          Liana provides flexible OOP support for Windows programming.       For example, a {list box} automatically fills itself from an       associated {object}.   That object is not some sort of special       object, but is merely any object that "behaves like" an array       (i.e., has a "size" member function that returns the number of       elements, a "get" function that returns the ith element, and       the text for each element is returned by calling the "text"       member function for the element).          A related product, C-odeScript, is an embeddable application       scripting language.   It is an implementation of Liana which       can be called from C/C++ applications to dynamically evaluate       expressions and statement sequences.   This can be used to       offer the end-user a macro/scripting capability or to allow       the C/C++ application to be customized without changing the       C/C++ source code.          Here's a complete Liana program which illustrates the       flexibility of the language semantics and the power of the       class library:             main          {             // Prompt user for a string.             // No declaration needed for "x" (becomes a global variable.)             x = ask ("Enter a String");                // Use "+" operator to concatenate strings. Memory             // management for string temporaries is automatic.   The             // "message" function displays a Windows message box.             message ("You entered: " + x);                // Now x will take on a different type.   The "ask_number"             // function will return a "real" if the user's input             // contains a decimal point or an "int" if no decimal             // point.             x = ask_number ("Enter a Number");                // The "+" operator with a string operand will             // automatically convert the other operand to a string.                message ("You entered: " + x);                // Prompt user for a Liana expression.   Store it in a             // local variable (the type, string, is merely for             // documentation.)             string expr = ask ("Enter an Expression");                // Evaluate the expression. The return value of "eval"             // could be any type.   The "source_format" member function             // converts any value to its source format (e.g., add             // quotes for a string.)   The "class_name" member function             // return the name of the class of an object/value.             // Empty parens can be left off for member function calls.             x = eval (expr);             message ("The value of " + expr + " is " + x.source_format +                   " its type is " + x.class_name);          }          The author explained that the "Li" of Liana stands for       "Language interpreter" and liana are vines that grow up trees       in tropical forests, which seemed quite appropriate for a tool       to deal with the complexity of MS Windows!   It is also a       woman's name.          ["Liana for Windows", Aitken, P., PC TECHNIQUES, Dec/Jan       1993].          ["Liana: A Language For Writing Windows Programs", Burk, R.,       Tech Specialist (R&D Publications), Sep 1991].          ["Liana v. 1.0."

Lama       (Matt. 27:46), a Hebrew word meaning why, quoted from Ps. 22:1.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lime       The Hebrew word so rendered means "boiling" or "effervescing."       From Isa. 33:12 it appears that lime was made in a kiln lighted       by thorn-bushes. In Amos 2:1 it is recorded that the king of       Moab "burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime." The same       Hebrew word is used in Deut. 27:2-4, and is there rendered       "plaster." Limestone is the chief constituent of the mountains       of Syria.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lo-ammi       not my people, a symbolical name given by God's command to       Hosea's second son in token of Jehovah's rejection of his people       (Hos. 1:9, 10), his treatment of them as a foreign people. This       Hebrew word is rendered by "not my people" in ver. 10; 2:23.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Loan       The Mosaic law required that when an Israelite needed to borrow,       what he asked was to be freely lent to him, and no interest was       to be charged, although interest might be taken of a foreigner       (Ex. 22:25; Deut. 23:19, 20; Lev. 25:35-38). At the end of seven       years all debts were remitted. Of a foreigner the loan might,       however, be exacted. At a later period of the Hebrew       commonwealth, when commerce increased, the practice of exacting       usury or interest on loans, and of suretiship in the commercial       sense, grew up. Yet the exaction of it from a Hebrew was       regarded as discreditable (Ps. 15:5; Prov. 6:1, 4; 11:15; 17:18;       20:16; 27:13; Jer. 15:10).                Limitations are prescribed by the law to the taking of a       pledge from the borrower. The outer garment in which a man slept       at night, if taken in pledge, was to be returned before sunset       (Ex. 22:26, 27; Deut. 24:12, 13). A widow's garment (Deut.       24:17) and a millstone (6) could not be taken. A creditor could       not enter the house to reclaim a pledge, but must remain outside       till the borrower brought it (10, 11). The Hebrew debtor could       not be retained in bondage longer than the seventh year, or at       farthest the year of jubilee (Ex. 21:2; Lev. 25:39, 42), but       foreign sojourners were to be "bondmen for ever" (Lev.       25:44-54).
