Arabic term or phrase: لاتقل

Greetings,

Here's the full context:
مندوب مبيعات خبرة في اجهرة التبريد والتكييف لاتقل عن خمس سنوات في الامارات

Please let me know the three-letter root لاتقل comes from. I do realize that the ل is probably "to, for" but I thought I'd better give it to you verbatim.

Best wishes,

Simon
