Word: ла́па,
Near etymology: также презрительно о руке; укр. ла́па, блр. ла́па, словен. lара, польск. ɫара.
Further etymology: Родственно лит. lópa "лапа (собаки, медведя)", лтш. lãpa "лапа", гот. lōfа "ладонь", др.-исл. lófi -- то же, курд. lарk "лапа"; с другой ступенью вокализма: датск. lab, шв. labb "лапа", лтш. lę̄ра -- то же; см. Буга, РФВ 66, 243 и сл.; 71, 56; М.--Э. 2, 439; Бернекер 1, 690; Перссон 196, 944; Кречмер, Einl. 102; Хольтхаузен, РВВ 66, 266; Траутман, ВSW 160. Сюда же лопа́та (см.). Чеш. tlара, tlápa "лапа, ножища" не является достаточным основанием для реконструкции праслав. *tlара, вопреки Соболевскому (РФВ 70, 95). Звук t- в этом слове вторичен; ср. Ильинский (РФВ 78, 194 и сл.), который допускает влияние нем. Таtzе "лапа", что не имеет достаточных оснований.
