Adjective [Latvian]

Etymology: From an unattested verb *nikt, similar in meaning to the Lithuanian cognate (see below; compare also Latvian dialectal verb nikties (“to annoy, to disturb”)), formed with an extra -n (compare verb īgt, adjective īgns); *nikt is derived from Proto-Indo-European *nēyk-, *nik- (“to attack, to start quickly”), from Proto-Indo-European *ney- (“to be in motion, to be excited; to shine”). Cognates include Lithuanian nìkti (“to tackle, to get quickly (to work)”), Russian прони́кнуть (proníknutʹ, “to penetrate”).
