"lalë" meaning in All languages combined

See lalë on Wiktionary

Noun [Albanian]

Forms: lalë [plural], lala [definite]
Etymology: Ultimately a babble word, compare jajë (“aunt”). Compare also Aromanian lalã (“uncle”), Greek λαλάς (lalás, “grandfather, governor, mentor”), λαλά (lalá, “grandmother”), Calabrian Greek leḍḍé (“brother”), leḍḍá (“sister”). Possibly from dialectal Persian لالا (lâlâ, “elder brother”) via dialectal Ottoman Turkish لالا (lala), compare dialectal sense “sister”, whereas the standard and widely attested sense is “tutor”. Sense 2 may have possibly arisen given the reported usage of the word as particular of the region.
