I spent my childhood in Lye, where the canal and the old factory still stand.

The artisan was lyeing the fabric to prepare it for dyeing.

In the old chronicle, the weary soldier would lye beneath the elm to rest between marches.

Before pouring the soap mixture into molds, he tested the concentration of the lye with pH strips to ensure it was safe.

Before dyeing, they lye the fabric to remove its natural oils.

The freight train waited on the lye while the express passed on the main line.

Old lyes stored in the shed corroded the metal drums and leaked into the soil.

The soapmaker lyes the batch to remove impurities.

The apothecary labeled the jar 'potash lye' and warned that the contents were corrosive.

The chemist stored the potash lyes in labeled glass jars to prevent contamination.
