Lab    ,, rennet,’ from lap(d), , ‘rennet,’ also ‘acid fluid,’  lab, ‘broth’; it is not improbable, since the latter is the  meaning, that the word is further cognate with  terms for ‘medicine.’  lubja, , ‘poison,’  lyb, ‘poison,’  lyf, ‘medicine,  luppi, , ‘deadly juice.’ Note specially  kœseluppe, ,  châsiluppa,  cŷs-lyb,  to  kœ̂se-lap. The way in which is related by gradation to lubja corresponds perhaps to that of   to  nosu,  nose. The meaning of the stem seems to be ‘strong, sharp perfume; plant juice’;  lyf, ‘medicine,’ and  lubja, ‘poison,’ are differentiations of the same  sense.   ,, ‘codfish,’ only, from ; to this are allied, with remarkable divergences,  labberdaan, earlier abberdaan and slabberdaan, and  haberdine, with the same sense. The word is based not on the name of the Scotch town Aberdeen, but on tractus Laburdanus, a part of the Basque country (Bayonne used to be called Laburdum, Labourd), It must have been introduced into the Netherlands through a  medium; the form abberdaen is due to the error of regarding the initial l as the article. also.  ,, ‘to refresh,’ from laben,  labôn (  gelafian), ‘to wash, quicken, refresh.’ If we take into consideration Tacitus' account of the fondness of the Teutons for bathing, we can readily conceive how the meaning ‘to refresh’ was evolved from ‘to wash’; the reverse course is also possible, as is shown perhaps by  , in the sense of ‘to drink,’ The former is the more probable, on account of  lap (b), ‘bilge water’; there is, however, no connection with  lavare,  λούειν. —  ,, ‘refreshment,’ from the  labe,  laba,.   ,, from the  lache,  lahha, , ‘puddle, pool, water in an excavation.’ The  word cannot be derived from  lăcus, ‘lake,’ which may, however, be the origin of  and  lake, while  lagu, ‘lake,’ shows what form the  word cognate with the  term would assume. The attempt to connect  ( lacke) and lacus is also opposed by the difference in meaning;  lacca, ‘low ground,’ and  loky are  loan-words. The origin of remains obscure; it is scarcely allied to  and its cognates.  ,, ‘to laugh,’ from the  lachen,  lahhên, lahhan, earlier hlahhan; the hk of the  is due, according to  hlahjan ( hlôh), ‘to laugh,’ to an older hj,  hlyhhan,  to laugh, and the   lachen. In the non- languages the stem hlah, pre- klak (probably onomatopoetic, like the cognates of or  klegĕti, ‘to be noisy, laugh loudly’), is not positively authenticated. — Derivative ',, ‘laugh,’ from lache, , ‘laughing,’   laughter,  hleahtor,  lahter, ‘laughter.’ ',  ‘to smile,’ from  lęcheln, is a frequentative of.  ,, ‘salmon,’ from the  lahs ( lęhse),  lahs; corresponding to  leax,  lax, Scotch lax; a common and   term for ‘salmon’; in  perhaps *lahs. The and  words are cognate;  lasziszà,  lasis,  lososŭ, ‘salmon trout,’  lasóš, ‘salmon.’ Hence the s in  lahs is a suffix, and not a part of the root.   , and, ‘fathom,’ from the   lâhter, lâfter ; its early history is obscure; the stem is not the same as in ,   ,, ‘chest, box, press,’ from lade ( *lada, *hlada?), , ‘receptacle, chest’;  is  an ‘arrangement for loading’; the corresponding  hlaþa means ‘barn, storehouse,’ so too  laþe, whence  lathe. For further references the. It is also probable that is connected with the following  ; in that case the  meaning would be ‘trunk made of boards.’ <section end="Lade" /> <section begin="Laden" /> ,, ‘shop, shutter,’ from laden, lade, , ‘board, plank, shutter, shop.’ The meaning of  lade, ‘board,’ is the  one, hence the derivation of the word from the   must be rejected in favour of its connection with  ; since the latter in <section end="Laden" />
