Origin: 

before 900; Middle English;  conflation of lo  exclamation ofsurprise, grief, or joy, O! ( Old English lā; see la² ) and lo, shortened form of loke  ( Old English lōca ), imperative of loken to look

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So lets take this a little deeper, first I looked up the definition of loke and loken and found this:

"[Middle English loken, from Old English lcian.]"


Then some more digging found me conjugations for the word lcian
  Of course I'll post the wiki link as well, here.

So, we have a few ways of saying "look" basically, another pointing out word (funnily almost like the last post about teaching...)

Well no point not writing my inspiration for a new word down whilst i'm at it!



Lciche - (Low-see-ch-e) - To see is to smile. -


This is based of the above word and the phrase coined by Lewis Carroll, "To grin like a CheshireCat."
 I found this an interesting read on the Cheshire Cat also:

"

– so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation. 

"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough." 
The cat is an enigma – perhaps symbolizing the mystery of Wonderland itself. Of how nonsense has a way of making sense. The Cheshire cat to me is the one character of Wonderland who does make a kind of sense to me.

He knows he's mad. Tell me - is there any other characters in Wonderland who accepts that they are mad? I don't think so (but it's been a while since I've read the book)

The cat comes and he goes - he's is and he isn't - he's there then he's not.... When the queen tries to behead the cat, he disappears, but his head remains and he asks, “can something that does not have a body be beheaded?”"

Of possibly further note :

lōcian WII look

• imp 2 sg lōca
• opt 3 sg lōcie

  I think I just found a further connection to Lewis Carroll's cheshire Cat, whilst looking (lol looking) up locian I came across a wiki article about runes:
  
  "Several famous English examples mix runes and Roman script, and/or Old English and Latin, on the same object, including the Franks Casket and St Cuthbert's coffin; in the latter three of the names of the Four Evangelists are given in Latin written in runes but "LUKAS" (Saint Luke) is in Roman script. The coffin is also an example of an object created at the heart of the Anglo-Saxon church that uses runes. A leading expert, R. I. Page, rejects the assumption often made in non-scholarly literature that runes were especially associated in post-conversion Anglo-Saxon England with Anglo-Saxon paganism or magic.<sup>[1]"
  
  I then followed the link to St Cuthbert's coffin:
  
  "</sup>In 875 the monks managed to escape with the coffin, before the Vikings attacked and destroyed the monastery. For seven years they carried it with them to various places in modern Scotland and Northumbria before settling it in the still existing St Cuthbert's church in Chester-le-Street until 995, when another Danish invasion led to its removal to Ripon. It was at Chester-le-Street that King Athelstan visited it, and the textiles were placed inside.^[8] Travelling once again, the cart with the coffin became stuck at Durham, which was taken as a sign that the saint wished to remain there. A new stone church—the so-called 'White Church'—was built, the predecessor of the present grand cathedral. The body was moved within the cathedral at various points; perhaps in 1041, in 1096 to escape the Harrying of the North by William the Conqueror, in 1104 when the Norman cathedral was constructed, and in 1541 when the medieval shrine which was one of the principal English pilgrimage sites was destroyed during the Reformation.^[9] The coffin was opened at various times during this period: one mid-10th century monk was in the habit of often combing the hair of the saint, and was also responsible for placing the purloined bones of theVenerable Bede in the coffin"
  
  He was said to have been uncovered un-decayed evelven years after his burial. The connection I see is Chester-le-street
