Schuessler (2007) connects it to Old Chinese particle 也 (OC *laːlʔ), which is possibly of Sino-Tibetan origin.[1]

- Lhasa: /laˑ/
- Old Tibetan:

Postposition[edit]
ལ • (la)
- Marks oblique locatives.
- Marks the dative (a recipient in a trivalent construction).
- Marks the possessor in have-constructions which use a copular verb.
- Marks the subject of verbs such as "like" and "need".
- Marks the direct object of verbs which involve contact but no change of state.
Usage notes[edit]
When the preceding syllable ends in a vowel, la becomes r and goes in the coda of the preceding syllable. For example, "in Lhasa" is ལྷ་སར (lha sar).
