lanna prep. “athwart” (PE17:65)

lannë noun "tissue, cloth" (LAN)

lanta (1) noun "a fall" (DAT/DANT (TALÁT) ), also lantë.

lanta- (2) "fall" (DAT/DANT (TALÁT), Narqelion, VT45:26, VT49:54); lantar aorist tense pl. (Nam, RGEO:66); pl. pa.t. lantaner "fell" (pl.) (SD:246); lantier "they fell", a plural past tense of lanta- "fall" occurring in LR:47; read probably lantaner in LotR-style Quenya, as in SD:246. Also sg. lantië "fell" (LR:56); read likewise *lantanë? (The forms in -ier, -ië seem to be properly perfects.) Future tense lantuva, VT49:47. Participle lantala "falling" (with locative ending: lantalassë) in Markirya.

lantalasselingëa adj. “with a musical sound of falling leaves” (PE16:96)

lantalca ("k") noun "boundary post or mark" (VT42:8, 28)

lanta-mindon Qenya pl. noun "fallen-towers"; inflected compound lanta-ránar "in falling-moon" (with pre-classical locative -r) (MC:214; these forms are "Qenya")

#lantë (1) noun "fall" in Noldolantë, q.v. Also lanta.

lantë (2) adj.? participle? "falling" (MC:214; this is "Qenya" - in Tolkien's later Quenya lantala)

lapsa- vb. "to lick" (frequentative) (LAB)

lapsë noun "babe" (LAP)

[laque[t]-] ("q") vb. ?"deny" (VT45:25)

lár (1) noun "league", a linear measure, 5000 rangar (q.v.). A ranga was approximately 38 inches, so a lár was "5277 yards, two feet and four inches [ca. 4826 m], supposing the equivalence to be exact" - close enough to our league of 5280 yards to justify this translation. The basic meaning of lár is "pause"; in marches a brief halt was made for each league. (UT:285)

lár (2) noun "ear" (?). Tolkien's wording is not clear, but ¤lasū is given as an ancient dual form "(pair of) ears"; Quenya lár could represent the old singular las- (LAS²). In a post-LotR source, Tolkien derives hlas “ear” (dual hlaru) from a stem SLAS (PE17:62). Initial hl- rather than l- reflects the revised form of the stem (LAS becoming SLAS), and in the later version of the phonology, postvocalic -s does not become -r when final. Compare the noun “dream”, given as olor in the Etymologies (LOS), but as olos pl. olori in a later source (UT:396)

lar (1) noun "fat, riches" (VT45:26; Hostetter and Wynne suggest that the second gloss should perhaps read "richness" rather than "riches")

[lar (2) noun "(good) fortune, prosperity, Bliss" (VT45:26; the Qenya genitive form láren is also listed)]
