Noun [Latvian]

Etymology: Basically from Proto-Balto-Slavic *nágas, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃nṓgʰs (see there for further descendants). The meaning 'leg', widely attested in Slavic (cf. Ukrainian нога (noha), Russian нога (noga), Czech noha, Polish noga) and also in Old Prussian noge (cf. also meaning #3 below), probably evolved as '(finger) nail' > '(bird) claw' > '(bird) leg'. The 'metal fastener for joining wood etc.' meaning, found in Germanic languages (English nail, German Nagel), is probably derived from 'claw' as 'object for piercing'.

  "etymology_text": "Basically from Proto-Balto-Slavic *nágas, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃nṓgʰs (see there for further descendants). The meaning 'leg', widely attested in Slavic (cf. Ukrainian нога (noha), Russian нога (noga), Czech noha, Polish noga) and also in Old Prussian noge (cf. also meaning #3 below), probably evolved as '(finger) nail' > '(bird) claw' > '(bird) leg'. The 'metal fastener for joining wood etc.' meaning, found in Germanic languages (English nail, German Nagel), is probably derived from 'claw' as 'object for piercing'.",
