Cognate with Latvianlàse(“drop”), as well as perhaps dialectal Russianла́са(lása, “shiny spot”), лоса́(losá, “sunlit surface of water”),[1] and ласит(lasit, “to stain”).[2] The Balto-Slavic words seem to trace back to a Proto-Indo-European*leḱ-(“to sprinkle (?)”),[3] but further interpretation and cognates are unclear:
Often compared with lašišà(“salmon”); see Latvianlasis(“salmon; (dialectal) drop”) for more.[4][5]
Has been compared to Sanskritलश(laśa, “gum, resin”) and लाक्षा(lākṣā, “lac dye or bug”);[6] the former is semantically bold, while the latter's origin is similarly murky, thus making formal analysis difficult.
Related to lašė́ti(“to drip”), and by surface analysis, a nominal formation from it.[7]
