laga (लग) [or लंग, laṅga].—f A term amongst Karkuns. They who write laga derive the word from lāgaṇēṃ, and explain it as signifying Connection; for the connection; and as serving to fill the place underneath the item (where there is but a single item) of an account, when it is necessary to make up or close the account. By the side of this word in the margin they place a cipher. Hence laga f or lagapūja n ghālaṇēṃ -dēṇēṃ -māṇḍaṇēṃ -lihiṇēṃ. Others, who write, not laga but laṅga, derive it from P Lame, and set it underneath the single item of the account, and, placing a cipher in the margin, understand laṅga to indicate the sense Void or wanting, and to be equivalent to the Latin caret.
