  "etymology_text": "Derived from Latvian dialectal lāpa (“paw”) (q.v.) (cf. Lithuanian lópa, Russian ла́па (lápa)) with a vowel and a suffix -stā (cf. dialectal variant lāpusta). Ultimately from the same stem as lapa (“leaf”) (q.v.). The original meaning of lāpsta was probably “paw, foot, sole”, from which “instrument for digging (like a paw, foot, sole)”. (Another possibility: from the original stem *lep- (“to bark; to rip off, to tear”) a noun could be formed with the meaning “(cut off) plate”; cf. Albanian latë (“small ax, hoe, spud”) < *laptā). Cognates include Lithuanian lópeta, Old Prussian lopto, Proto-Slavic *lopata (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian лопа́та (lopáta), Czech lopata, Polish łopata, Russian dialectal ла́пость (lápostʹ) “track, footprints”), Hittite [script needed] (lappa, “on shovels”).",

  "etymology_text": "Derived from Latvian dialectal lāpa (“paw”) (q.v.) (cf. Lithuanian lópa, Russian ла́па (lápa)) with a vowel and a suffix -stā (cf. dialectal variant lāpusta). Ultimately from the same stem as lapa (“leaf”) (q.v.). The original meaning of lāpsta was probably “paw, foot, sole”, from which “instrument for digging (like a paw, foot, sole)”. (Another possibility: from the original stem *lep- (“to bark; to rip off, to tear”) a noun could be formed with the meaning “(cut off) plate”; cf. Albanian latë (“small ax, hoe, spud”) < *laptā). Cognates include Lithuanian lópeta, Old Prussian lopto, Proto-Slavic *lopata (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian лопа́та (lopáta), Czech lopata, Polish łopata, Russian dialectal ла́пость (lápostʹ) “track, footprints”), Hittite [script needed] (lappa, “on shovels”).",
