Old Czech
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *leťi.
Pronunciation

Usage notes
Normally, the a/ě variation would be expected, but as Gebauer mentions, the Proto-Slavic -lę- and -ęk- develop into Old Czech usually with -ě- (compared to other words which keep the variation in Old Czech). That's why we don't see the otherwise expected lahu, lahú etc.
