[fwd from A. Grant:] <lapellah> from <l'apparat>?

[Dave Robertson]

Folks:

Just a guess here, but I think that lapellah (spell it how you will) may
have something to do with French l'apparat (the apparatus), referring to a
griddle or a spit over a blazing fire on which things could be roasted.
Just a guess, though.
