לוט³
Where it comes from
Uncertain According to Klein probably related to Akkadian ladunu and Arabic لَادَن (lādan, “labdanum”). Persian لادن (lâdan) is borrowed from Arabic. Ancient Greek λῆδον (lêdon, “rockrose”), whence λήδανον (lḗdanon, “labdanum”), is a Semitic borrowing. Compare לוֹטוּס (lotus, “lotus”).
