Etymology 2
Probably from Võru dialectal lahk (“divergence; junction”). Another possibility is the association with the hill name Lahamägi, which can be found in several places in Võrumaa. This name does not denote a junction, but is rather associated with laha ~ loha, which J. Mägiste has considered to be the stem of many words associated with sluggishness, sloppiness or flow.[1]
