Any chance the name is a play on words from the Estonian word "Lahja" as in light-weight?

Good question, could also be the Finnish word "lahja" that translates to "gift"

Christoph, founder of the project here. I recently came across the Estonian meaning and jokingly used it as an explanation for the project name when I gave a presentation. However, the real story is that Lahja is the name of my daughter and I selfishly named this project after her :)

That sounds more Punjabi. It is "le ja" in Hindi.

Also means "weak" (in concentration) in Estonian though
