And, of course, the pronounciation LEE-lah matches quite closely a word of Sanskrit origin whose etymology not clear: lI means to cling etc., but lIlA means to play, a game, in the very general sense of child's play all the way to the existence as embodying a cosmic game. It was used as a name and as first part of a name from at least a 1000 years back in India.
