What does LAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
The sixth degree of a scale in tonic sol-fa.
Sol-fa gives every step of the scale a syllable so that a singer can read a tune without knowing the key, and lah is the sixth of them. The same three letters do quite different work in Singapore and Malaysia, where lah is tacked onto the end of a sentence to soften it — the two uses share nothing but the sound.
