LL is used only twice, LeLo` in Matthew 5:22 and LeLuwtho` in 1 Cor. 3:19. So there isn't much to go on. If LeLuwtho` can be contrived to be "foolishness" or "a folly", then it seems natural that LeLo` would be "a fool". But hard to know for sure if "fool" or some other word is the best fit.
The SKL adjective is used frequently. "inept, hapless, simple, naive, unthinking, senseless, unknowing, unwise, foolish" are all possibilities. SKL is used for the 5 maidens who took their lamps but not the oil for them, and for the man who built his house on sand instead of rock, among others. Yeshua referred to the Pharisees using the SKL adjective, when asking them, "SaKLeh and the blind, what this ... be ...?" Using "simple" as an example, it would read as "The simple and the blind, what this .... be ...?"
I don't know if RaQa is as elaborate as "I spit on you", but it does seem likely that it is derived from the RQ root, which is the root for the word "spit".
