alavas
See also: ålåvas
Lithuanian
alavas
Etymology
The native cognate álvas was displaced by a borrowing from Russian о́лово (ólovo, “tin”). Compare Latvian al̂va (“tin”), Old Prussian alwis (“lead”). Formal discrepancies imply that this word is probably ultimately a non-Indo-European borrowing.[1]
