*** Etymology
[la]. Though a connection to [sla-pro] is attractive, there are formal
problems with the derivation. The Slavic is clearly derived from [sla-pro],
which is likely an inherited root continuing [ine-pro] (albeit itself
unclear), but such a root clearly cannot account for the Latin vocalism. The
alternative [la] or [ine-pro] (compare [grc], [lt][lt]) is disputed on both
formal and semantic grounds. Most likely of [la] origin: the same source may
have also given [la];<ref name="EDL"/> see [grc] and [ine-pro] for further
possible cognates and discussion. Alternatively, from another substrate word
that also gave [la] if its original meaning was [castrated animal].[1] In both
cases the semantic connection is weak, however. Less likely, potentially
related to [gem-pro], [sla-pro] and [sq], which may be yet another substrate
word or [Wanderwort].[2]
