Longue queue: rang de « lal » en français
Rare enough to double-check
lal is uncommon French at frequency #55,401 among 2,567 “L” headwords, classed as anadjective, transcribed \lɑl\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Muet.".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for lal, suggesting the orthography follows predictable French patterns. This headword has no recorded confusable partner, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct French form is lal, spelled L-A-L.
