Albanian

Etymology

From (lashë (le(f)t behind) +‎ -të) Proto-Albanian *lauša. According to Jokl (& Slavia Praha) from Proto-Indo-European *h₁lewdʰ- (“to grow; people”).[1] A similar developement can be seen in Proto-Germanic *aldaz (“old”) (release → let grow → grow old).[2] Related to Gothic 𐌻𐌰𐌿𐍃 (laus, “loosen, set free, empty”), further related to Ancient Greek λύω (lúō, “to loose, release”). Feist,[3] Frisk,[4] Haarmann,[5] Kluge, Liukkonen and Pokorny[6] favour(ed) a relation to Lithuanian ìlgas (“long”).

According to Çabej a derivative of lag (“I wet, moisten”)[7] and to Meyer a loan from Latin lassus (“faint, languid”)[8]

Cf. Albanian lasht m (“ancient time”).
