L is the twelfth letter of the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled el or occasionally ell (pronounced /ɛl/).

History

The letter L is derived from the Phoenician crook or goad which stood for /l/. This originally may have been based on an Egyptian hieroglyph that was adapted by Semites for alphabetic purposes. The Greek letter Lambda Λ (upper case) or λ (lower case), as well as the equivalent Etruscan and Latin letters, represent the same sound as the Semitic letter. In reference, it is spelled el.

How much swelling should l expect when getting my wisdom teeth pulled?
Q. l had 6 wisdom teeth, and they extracted 4 of them, and left the other 2 because after digging around for one of them, they couldn't find it and decided to leave both of them there. One side of my mouth is practically normal, the other side is blown up HUGE. Is this to be expected? They said that the swelling peaks at about 48hrs, and it's been about 48hrs, and l'm yet to see a decrease in size, but l'm just really surprised that just the one side of my face is huge, and the other side isn't.

A. It is normal, if you are not putting ice packs on your cheecks. You should be doing that for twenty minutes every couple of hours. It will help with swelling and pain. I can only guess why one side of your face is swollen, perhaps that is the side that they dug around for the other teeth.

Is L-Lysine supplement sold at the drugstore equivilant to the supplement prescribed for cats?
Q. I took a cat from someone and the cat is on L-Lysine, her bottle is running low and I know that people take this as well. Can I buy human L-Lysineat the drugstore and cut them up to accommodate her prescribed dose or not? I need this immediately and getting it will take me a week, would like to be able to get it sooner and if it is the same thing it will save me money. Can anyone help me?

A. "The amino acid L-lysine...people take it to help control herpes outbreaks. You can use it for cats as well. 250 to 500 milligrams twice a day for up to five days for an acute episode. Break open the capsule and mix the contents into the food." Jean Hovfe, DVM. So I think this implies that a L-lysine at a health food store is also appropriate for cats.
