"agrs" meaning in All languages combined

See agrs on Wiktionary

Adjective [Latvian]

IPA: [aɡɾs] Audio: lv-riga-agrs.ogg
Etymology: From Proto-Baltic *agras, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eg-ro-s, from *h₂eg- with -ro “spike, top, beginning.” This stem is apparently a variant of *h₂eḱ- (“sharp”), whence Ancient Greek ἄκρος (ákros, “sharp, pointed”), Latin ācer (“sharp”) (< *h₂ḱrós). If this is true, Latvian agrs would originally have meant “sharp,” from which “fast, quick” and finally “early.” Cognates include Hittite [script needed] (ḫegur, “peak, cliff”), Sanskrit अग्र (ágra, “spike, peak, beginning”), Avestan 𐬀𐬔𐬭𐬋 (agrō, “first”), 𐬀𐬔𐬭𐬆𐬨 (agrəm, “beginning”).
