leil = high (Lhaesine pronunciation = LEEL) (some things Google found for "leil": an uncommon term; a first name; as a Arab masculine name it means "night"; a last name, can be Arab or British; "Tikkun Leil Shavout" is the Jewish custom of studying Torah all night long; musician Sufjan Stevens has a song titled "Ya Leil")
The spelling of this word, while not breaking my rules, is bending them somewhat. According to my usual conventions, this word should be spelled "lele".
This word has been revised. The Lhaesine word for "high" is now "lale". This posting is no longer current.
