In Portuguese it's a 1st person Present form of "to leave legacy" (as in a
will, "I leave... to...").
Try to find LEGO-related websites in Portuguese to see what I'm talking
about - about half the sites refer to legal talk over legacies :-/
It's not a dead language, so I suppose the brand has no valid patent in
Portugal?
(ooooh... the possibilities! ;-)
