"lestar" meaning in All languages combined

See lestar on Wiktionary

Noun [Old Irish]

Etymology: Generally considered a borrowing from Proto-Brythonic *llestr (whence also Welsh llestr (“vessel, receptacle”)), due to the existence of the cluster /st/, which should have become /s/ in native vocabulary. The Brythonic word is from Proto-Celtic *lexstrom (“pot”). However, Schrijver does point out that *str normally does not lose the *t when preceded by a velar consonant, which is instead lost. This makes the Old Irish word a straightforward inheritance from Proto-Celtic *lexstrom.
