I am a word with 6 letters.
I contain a "la" in the middle, in in the beginning, and at the end.
What am I?

Phrasing and punctuation is crucial in wordplay puzzles, and I'm not sure if I agree with the particular ones used here.
However, my guess is
inland
which kind of works, because
"la" is the middle, "in" the beginning, "and" the end.

I think it is
inland
because
la is in the middle, in is in the beginning, and and is at the end.

I'm going to post an incorrect answer without hiding it so no one feels the need to re-post this answer. :))))
I think the answer is "lalala".

Another incorrect answer:
SCALES
because
do re mi fa sol LA ti do, and there are modes which have the LA at the beginning, and at the end, and (the other five) in the middle.

3$\begingroup$ This is better than the correct answer, as it doesn't depend on misinterpreting grammar and punctuation. $\endgroup$– piojoCommented Jan 8, 2018 at 7:29

The correct answer already got accepted,this is just a try
INLAIN
It contains
"LA" in the middle, "IN" the beginning and at the end.
The title : Huh? That's a word?
I am also asking, is that a word. :P

$\begingroup$ A major difficulty is the improbability of the verb inlie whose past participle this would be. $\endgroup$– KazCommented Jan 6, 2018 at 11:17

4$\begingroup$ @Kaz Improbable or not this gets used in art, construction, and craftsman circles. It might not even be officially correct but it does see some use. $\endgroup$– CalebCommented Jan 6, 2018 at 13:42

$\begingroup$ @Caleb Are you sure you're not, rather, thinking of inlay? $\endgroup$– KazCommented Jan 6, 2018 at 20:26

$\begingroup$ @Kaz That would be the (admittedly much more common) noun form, not the (also sometimes used) past participle form. $\endgroup$– CalebCommented Jan 7, 2018 at 7:05

$\begingroup$ @Caleb it seems to be an incorrect or at leaset almost-never-used version of the past participle. I only know it as a regular verb, and ngrams say the same: books.google.com/ngrams/…. $\endgroup$– rumtschoCommented Jan 7, 2018 at 19:40
