𒆷𒀀𒆷𒀸	The cuneiform font displayed by default does not accurately represent the Hittite script. Please download and install Hittite fonts from www.hethport.uni-wuerzburg.de.

From Proto-Anatolian *lólos or *lālos. Kloekhorst further suggests an onomatopoeic origin. Compare Cuneiform Luwian 𒆷𒇷𒅖 (la-li-iš, “tongue, gossip”) and Hieroglyphic Luwian 𔓊𔓊𔑣𔓯𔐤 (LINGUA-la-ti-i-na /⁠lalatīna⁠/, “language”, accusative singular).
