Etymology

According to Ačaṙean, from Proto-Indo-European *lol-, an ablaut of *lel- (“to move, to shake”) and cognate with Lithuanian leliúoti (“to swing”), Russian леле́ять (leléjatʹ, “to cherish, foster”), Sanskrit लेलायति (lelāyati, “to move to andﾠfro, quiver, tremble, shake”), Old Armenian լլկեմ (llkem, “to torture”), dialectal Armenian լելալ (lelal, “to move, shake”), լող (loł, “roller”), լոլիկ (lolik, “tomato”), etc. This is accepted by J̌ahukyan.
