Laguz

Laguz or Laukaz is the reconstructed Proto-Germanic name of the l-rune ᛚ, laguz meaning "water" or "lake" and laukaz meaning "leek". In the Anglo-Saxon rune poem, it is called lagu "ocean". In the Younger Futhark it is called lögr "waterfall" in Icelandic and logr "water" in Norse. The corresponding Gothic letter is 𐌻 l, named lagus. The rune is identical in shape to the letter l in the Raetic alphabet.

The "leek" hypothesis is based not on the rune poems, but rather on early inscriptions where the rune has been hypothesized to abbreviate laukaz, a symbol of fertility, see Bülach fibula.
