Etymology
From de gmh vlieteme vlietem(e), gmh vliedeme vliedem(e) f m, from de goh fliotema, gmh fliodema f, from de la phlebotomus, from de grc φλεβοτώμος. In Late Middle High German, final gmh -em becomes gmh -en (as in de Faden etc.). From this a weak-declension nominative gmh vliete is backformed. Cognate with nl vlijm, en fleam.
