  It only makes sense in Romanian language. Lopata means Lop/flat+ ata' Romanian adjective that forms this word just like ed' from flattened Compare it to , subtiata' ( thinned) or , ingrosata ( thickened) LOPATA derives from Latin LOBATA/ LOBATUS and is one of things that have a round/ flat, lobate shape ( ear lobe like) from Latin LOBUS' ( a linguistic term) There ata adjective is not found in any slavic languages.In Romanian language there's at with all ( a,e,I,o,u) vowels There's another 'lopata in Italian Scalopata ( a scalloped potatoe)/ Scalopini, Escalope Scalope ( scal/ skal or shell+ lope/ flat) a reference to this round/ flat lobatw shape of this crustacean. I found that not only lop' is met in things with a flat shape, but also in Lob Lobus, Lobate, Lap Lapas( leaf in Lithuanian) Slap in English ( Google slap' meaning) Lab Laba' ( paw, duck toe in Romanian) Labia' Latin Slab in English ( and slabs are obviously flat) Even lup' ( lupa/ magnifying glass) A unknown connection Author rights Constantine Cristin Quora Soon the justice will be done Merci beaucoup.
