"meita" meaning in Latgalian

See meita in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈmʲæ̂i̯ta]
Etymology: Uncertain. A few possibilities are: * Borrowed from a West Germanic language (compare Middle Low German meid and Middle High German meyt). * From Proto-Indo-European *mēy- (“soft, tender”), via an adjective in the form of *meits (“tender, loved”). * From the verb meit (“to change”). The semantic shift would be "changing (of status, via marriage)" > "young woman about to be married" > "unmarried woman". Akin to Latvian meita.
