You're right of course, Peter, but we discussed the <il.-> root on the list some time ago, also in response to Dr Kalyanaraman's query, so I just wonder why he should ask twice only to get the same answers. It's far less trouble to check the archives.

No.  the <l.> in Vedic represents the more normal <d.> between vowels.
