*** Etymology
From [la], reflecting a form [ine-pro], from the root [ine-pro], heavily
distorted in all of its descendants, likely for tabooistic reasons,[1] making
the exact original PIE form hard to pin down. The newly introduced [la] is
seemingly also found in the [sa] cognate [sa], the fall of [la] < [ine-pro] is
also observed in [grc],[2] while the loss of [ine-pro] is also visible in
[sla-pro].
Other cognates include [mga], [lt], [xcl], [ae]. [la].
