With the letter Vav it refers to the Lamedvavniks., the 36 righteous people who save the world from destruction.
As an abbreviation, it can stand for litre. Also, a sign on a car with a Lamed on it means that the driver is a student of driving (the Lamed stands for lomed, learner).

It can be attached to verb roots, designating the infinitive (Daber means "speak", Ledaber means to speak).It can also act as a preposition meaning "to" or "for", Government.
