Germanic languages: *Laguz or Germanic languages: *Laukaz is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name of the l-rune, Germanic languages: *laguz meaning "water" or "lake" and Germanic languages: *laukaz meaning "leek". In the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, it is called "ocean". In the Younger Futhark, the rune is called "waterfall" in Icelandic and "water" in Norse.
The name of the corresponding Gothic letter (l) is attested as in the Codex Vindobonensis 795; a normalized (Ulfilan) Gothic form is thought to underlie this unconventional spelling.
The rune is identical in shape to the letter l in the Raetic alphabet.
The "leek" hypothesis is based not on the rune poems, but rather on early inscriptions where the rune has been hypothesized to abbreviate Germanic languages: *laukaz, a symbol of fertility, see the Bülach fibula.
