Likely further akin to Ancient Greek λᾰ́πτω (láptō, to gulp, drink greedily)

Etymology 2

[edit]
*listьje *orstenьja *lopovidьnajego (Petasites hybridus)

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *lápas (leaf),[1] cognate with Lithuanian lãpas (leaf), Latvian lapa (leaf, sheet of paper). Probably akin to Proto-Germanic *lappô (lap, rag), Proto-Germanic *lattō (lath, shutter, board). C. D. Buck suggests further relationship to Ancient Greek λέπω (lépō, to peel), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European.
