"spalgs" meaning in All languages combined

See spalgs on Wiktionary

Adjective [Latvian]

IPA: [spâlks]
Etymology: From a variant *spalg- of Proto-Baltic *spelg-, *spilg-, *spulg- (whence also spilgts), from Proto-Indo-European *pel-, *spel-, *spʰel- (“to shine”) with an extra g. The original meaning was, as that of its cognates spilgts and spulgs, “bright, shiny,” from which it metaphorically evolved into “very loud, sharp.” Cognates include Lithuanian spal̃gė, spal̃gena, spal̃genas (“cranberry”) (< “bright, shiny berry”) Etymology templates: {{m|ine-bsl-pro|*spalg-}} *spalg-, {{uder|lv|bat-pro|*spelg-}} Proto-Baltic *spelg-, {{m|ine-bsl-pro|*spilg-}} *spilg-, {{m|ine-bsl-pro|*spulg-}} *spulg-, {{m|lv|spilgts}} spilgts, {{uder|lv|ine-pro|*pel-}} Proto-Indo-European *pel-, {{m|ine-pro|*spel-}} *spel-, {{m|ine-pro|*spʰel-||to shine}} *spʰel- (“to shine”), {{m|lv|spilgts}} spilgts, {{m|lv|spulgs}} spulgs, {{cog|lt|spal̃gė}} Lithuanian spal̃gė, {{m|lt|spal̃gena}} spal̃gena, {{m|lt|spal̃genas||cranberry}} spal̃genas (“cranberry”) Head templates: {{head|lv|adjective|||definite|spalgais|comparative|spalgāks|superlative|visspalgākais|adverb|spalgi|cat2=|cat3=}} spalgs (definite spalgais, comparative spalgāks, superlative visspalgākais, adverb spalgi), {{lv-adj|spalg}} spalgs (definite spalgais, comparative spalgāks, superlative visspalgākais, adverb spalgi) Inflection templates: {{lv-decl-adj|spalg|extrawidth=-100}} Forms: spalgais [definite], spalgāks [comparative], visspalgākais [superlative], spalgi [adverb], no-table-tags [table-tags], spalgs [indefinite, masculine, nominative, singular], spalgi [indefinite, masculine, nominative, plural], spalga [feminine, indefinite, nominative, singular], spalgas [feminine, indefinite, nominative, plural], spalgu [accusative, indefinite, masculine, singular], spalgus [accusative, indefinite, masculine, plural], spalgu [accusative, feminine, indefinite, singular], spalgas [accusative, feminine, indefinite, plural], spalga [genitive, indefinite, masculine, singular], spalgu [genitive, indefinite, masculine, plural], spalgas [feminine, genitive, indefinite, singular], spalgu [feminine, genitive, indefinite, plural], spalgam [dative, indefinite, masculine, singular], spalgiem [dative, indefinite, masculine, plural], spalgai [dative, feminine, indefinite, singular], spalgām [dative, feminine, indefinite, plural], spalgu [indefinite, instrumental, masculine, singular], spalgiem [indefinite, instrumental, masculine, plural], spalgu [feminine, indefinite, instrumental, singular], spalgām [feminine, indefinite, instrumental, plural], spalgā [indefinite, locative, masculine, singular], spalgos [indefinite, locative, masculine, plural], spalgā [feminine, indefinite, locative, singular], spalgās [feminine, indefinite, locative, plural], - [indefinite, masculine, singular, vocative], - [indefinite, masculine, plural, vocative], - [feminine, indefinite, singular, vocative], - [feminine, indefinite, plural, vocative]
