Like nablator, I also think it’s supposed to be “lijt”; in that case, it could be a form of “liegt” (it lies) in which the long “e” has merged with the “g” to form a “j.”
But I’m not entirely sure either...
Reason: You can recognize the “L” in “lyp.” The “ij” also appears in “melachij,” with two dots above it. To this day, the “j” still has exactly that dot above it, as you can see here
