Etymology
Found in alike meaning as Ottoman Turkish لوكون (lükün, lökün), Armenian լոկոն (lokon). Maybe from an unattested diminutive of the Aramaic etymon of Arabic لَكَن (lakan), لَقَن (laqan, “basin”), developed to the meaning “mixing tub, mortar box, bin where plaster is compounded”, as جُرْن (jurn) has.
Noun
لَاقُونَة • (lāqūne) f
- (obsolete) A kind of putty of lime that has not been wholly slaked and mixed with resin, olive oil, cotton
