I looked up the entry for LEGW in LSJ, and there are two entries: LEGW (A):
"lay, pres. erroneously inferred from LEXOMAI, ELEKTO, etc. v. LECOMAI."
and LEGW (B), which is 1-1/2 columns long and includes among its definitions
the frequent meaning of "say, speak."
So I suppose they're trying to tell you that LEKTOS comes from the second LEGW entry.
