  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Baltic *jḗˀgāˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *yēgʷeh₂ (“power, youthful strength”). The original meaning was thus “strength, power,” later changed to “knowledge, sense, meaning” (probably first in the verb jēgt, from “to be able to” to “to know how”, “to know”, and later in the noun). The meaning “intelligent person,” attested in the 18th century, has not survived, except in the derived term nejēga “ignorant.” Cognates include Lithuanian jėga (“force, power”), Ancient Greek ἥβη (hḗbē, “power, youthful strength”).",

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Baltic *jḗˀgāˀ, from Proto-Indo-European *yēgʷeh₂ (“power, youthful strength”). The original meaning was thus “strength, power,” later changed to “knowledge, sense, meaning” (probably first in the verb jēgt, from “to be able to” to “to know how”, “to know”, and later in the noun). The meaning “intelligent person,” attested in the 18th century, has not survived, except in the derived term nejēga “ignorant.” Cognates include Lithuanian jėga (“force, power”), Ancient Greek ἥβη (hḗbē, “power, youthful strength”).",
