Dutch[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

From Middle Dutch lollen. May ultimately derive from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂- (an expressive root and presumably an onomatopoeia). If so, then cognate with Latin lāmentum, Ancient Greek λῆρος (lêros), λάλος (lálos), λάσκω (láskō).

Due to the association with lul (cock), the word may today be regarded as somewhat vulgar.

Verb[edit]

lullen

  1. (intransitive, somewhat vulgar) to blather, twaddle, talk nonsense
    Synonym: poep praten
    Lul niet zo.Quit your blathering.
