Discussion
lašāšu is a var. root of lâšu (cf. dakāku and dâku), see Abusch et al., AMD 8/3 p. 76. The D(t)-stem expresses metaphorical use of the literal mng. “to knead”. For D(t) see Mayer 2016, 231f. According to Kouwenberg 2005, 102, the refs. s.v. ašāšu Št (AHw. 79, CAD A/2, 424) might belong here.
