suedeza lera=mud, in basca lurra=earth
or avea legatura cu Larii sau cu nimfa Lara care devine chtonica: Lara, a Naiad daughter of the River God Almo, could not hold her tongue and reported to Hera that Zeus loved a mortal woman named Juturna. Zeus punished Lara for this by wrenching from her the indiscreet tongue, and told Hermes to take her to Hades as she was to become an infernal Nymph. In this way she became Tacita, The Silent Goddess (Dea Muta). Lara consorted with Hermes and gave birth to the Lares, twin brothers, who guard the crossroads and ever keep watch in the city.

(si cautand etimologia lui "jumate"- care e bineinteles necunoscuta, nici macar n-au dat-o din latina=dimidium, dimidia- am aflat ca  in basca se zice  la jumatate erda, iar in bengali si gujarati la fel Ardha, asta o avea legatura cu Ardeal?)
