I don't understand how this answer could be accepted without any source justifying that this is actually a word. –  Curiouser May 23 '11 at 16:36
@Curiouser - Note the usernames. –  WAF May 24 '11 at 23:10

There are a number of words of two letters, which could all count as the shortest.

But according to the Ibn Ezra, the heh which begins Devarim 32:6 is connected to the lamed and is not a word on its own. This is a famous mechlokets. See a nice video on the topic here.
