Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

'Lass' is the imperative of 'loossen', but feels more direct and concise as a keyword. It's still derived from the same root and maintains the 'allow' sense, but is more akin to how 'let' is used in other languages.

Issue breakdown

  • specificity While 'loossen' means 'to let/allow', it feels slightly indirect for a variable declaration keyword. It's not *wrong*, but less idiomatic for this purpose.
