Lat  lattech, latech, lateche, lattuh (latohha), borrowed in the  period from  lactū̆ca through the intermediate forms lattū̆ca, láttuca;   leahtric, ‘lactuca’ (  from  acte). — In , ‘colt’s foot,’ represents  lapatium ( huoflęteche,  huoflętihha), or more correctly  lapatica (intermediate forms lápatica, láptica, lattica).   , ‘electuary, confection,’ from the  latwërge, laiwêrje, latwârje, ; the t as in  represents ct (assimilated tt); lactuárium has a in the unaccented first syllable for e, as in. This foreign term is based on the  electuarium, which sometimes in  preserves its  form, electuârje, lectquerje. The word, which originated in  ἐκλεικτόν, ἔκλειγμα, ‘medicine that dissolves in the mouth,’ belongs to the medical art of the Middle Ages, which was learned from the Greeks ( also, , , &c.), and was introduced into  through a  medium —  lattovaro,  électuaire (whence  electuary).   ,, ‘stomacher, bodice,’ first occurs in early from  ( lacet, , ‘lace, stay-lace,’ whence  lace;  laccio, ‘cord’; the  word is  laqueus, ‘noose, snare’).  ',, ‘lukewarm, tepid,’ from the  lâ (inflected lâwêr),  lâo (inflected; probably for an earlier *hlâo ( *hlêws);   hlýr, ‘warm, mild,’  lauw. In the non- languages indubitable cognates are wanting, yet the  cognates of  ( flou) are derived from .  ', , ‘foliage,’ from the   loup(b),  loub,  and ; a primitive and common  term;   laufs ( laubôs), ,  leáf, ,  leaf,  loof. Some connect the word with  lápas, ‘leaf,’ which, however, compared with the diphthong of the  word has an abnormal a (  with  caput);  λέπος, ‘scale, rind,’ is even less akin.   , , ‘arbour, bower,’ from  loube (löube), , ‘porch, market, court of justice, gallery round the upper storey of a house,’  louba (louppea), , ‘penthouse, hall, front building’ (the mutated läube is met with in  ;   löve). The lopt, ‘upper storey, balcony’ (whence  loft), is probably con - nected with this word. The meaning, ‘arbour,’ wanting in  and, is due to the term being popularly connected with. The word passed in the form of  into  ( loggia,  loge, ‘hut, tent, tier of boxes’).   ,, ‘leek, garlic,’ from. the  louch,  louh(hh), ;  the corresponding  laukr,  look,  leác,  leek, with which lic in garlic is connected; a primitive and common  word, which was adopted in  as laukka and in  as lukŭ. Like most of the old names of plants and animals, it is of obscure origin. λύγος, ‘a pliant rod or twig for wicker-work, willow-like tree,’ cannot be allied on account of its meaning. Perhaps luss, ‘herb, plant’ (from *luksu-), is a cognate.   ,, ‘tart wine.’ “It is derived from lôra, which denotes the tart wine that is made from the skins and stones of grapes by pouring water on them” (Lessing). Even in lûra,  lûre,  ( lûrra,  liure, from the  form *lôrea, appears in the   leier; to this Swiss glöri from  glûrra is allied?). As to the period of the introduction of Italian vine-culture into Germany,, , , , and. lôrea is also indicated by loja, ‘dirt.’  ,, ‘to lie in wait,’ from the late  lûren,  ; it corresponds to  lúra, ‘to slumber,’  lûren,  to lower, lour. further lurken (for lûr ken),  to lurk, which seems the  meaning of the  and  word. “To the term is traced  lorgner, ‘to leer, ogle,’ from which the foreign words  lorgnon, lorgnette, were introduced into ”  ', ', ‘shell’ ( nutshell), a and  word, corresponding to  louft, ‘nutshell, bark of trees.’ Prim. cognate with lupinai, ‘peel, skins of fruit’ (lùpti, ‘to skin, peel’),  lupina, ‘husk,’ <section end="Läufel" /> ,, ‘to run,’ from the  loufen,  louffun,  ; from an earlier hlauffan,  to  hlaupan, ‘to run.’ It corresponds to  hleápan,  , ‘to run, leap, dance,’  to leap,  loopen,  hlaupa; a specifically  word common to all the dialects.
