Small correction. "Ha-lacha" would be "the phlegm". "Halacha" (without the separation of the leading "ha") is "the (proper) way (to act)".

"Ha lecha" would mean "the phlegm". "Ha lacha" could mean "the moist", but I think GP tried to use the apostrophe to lengthen the first syllable in the single word "halacha" so it would read HAlacha and not haLAcha.
