From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root لين. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

لَانَ , inf. n. لِينٌ [not لَيْنٌ as in the CK] and لَياَنٌ , (T, S, M, K,) contr. of خَشُنَ ; (S, K in art. خشن , and TK;) It was, or became, soft, as opposed to rough or harsh; smooth; plain; without asperities; fine to the touch; delicate; tender; supple; lithe; limber; pliant; pliable; flexible; ductile; malleable; soft, or flabby; lax: and he was, or became, soft; tender; pliant; gentle; bland; or mild. Hence لان جَانِبُهُ : see لَيِّنٌ . ― -b2- لَانَ بَطْنُهُ His bowels became relaxed. ― -b3- لَانَ He relented.
