lasina is borrowed from Trevecian layhêna ‘hall’, reflecting the Trevecian-Oleric connotations of organized education in Eoleon. The word was first used by Callútut in prescriptions for the education of Oleric reciters, but is now used more generally for any educational space or institution (including military training centers).
