lollu

Of unclear origin. Compare, in any case, Estonian loll, which is said to be sound-symbolic. Similar sound-symbolic terms can be found in other languages, such as colloquial Swedish lolla (“a redneck, hilbilly; a foolish and naive woman”). Possibly cognate with Italian lollo (“unreasonable, foolish”). Likely a Doublet of mommu.
