Etymology

łi- ‎(adjectival) + -Ø- (ni-modal 3rd person subject prefix) + -Ø- ‎(classifier) + -kizh (neuter imperfective stem of root -KIIZH, “to be spotted”).

The łi- prefix appears to have originated historically from the -ł- classifier. When this prefix appears immediately in pre-stem position, it takes the shape of a -l- classifier.
