EtymologyEdit
All of the pronunciations of this character are in the same word family derived from a root *lo meaning “to loosen; to relax” (Schuessler, 2007). STEDT compares it to Proto-Sino-Tibetan *g/s-lwat (“free; release; slip; dislocate”). Please compare with Burmese လျှောက် (hlyauk, “to address formally, to report, to speak”).
Pronunciation 1 is derived by causative devoicing of 悅 (OC *lod, “to relax; to be delighted”) (pronunciation 3).
Pronunciation 2 is probably the exoactive of pronunciation 1.
