does  [ler]  mean  "sea" in Irish ?


No, "ler" does not mean "sea" in Irish.

The Irish word for "sea" is "muir". It's pronounced "moor" (similar to 
the English word "moor").

"Ler" is not a recognized word in Irish Gaelic. It's possible that you 
may have heard or seen a mispronunciation or misspelling of another word.
