Cognates include Lithuanian giesmė̃ (“spiritual, solemn song”). A connection between dziesma and gaisma (“light”) has been suggested, given the similarity between their basic Proto-Indo-European stems (*gēy- “to sing, to call, to shout” and *gʰēy- “shiny, bright”) and the idea of saluting the dawn: an original verb *gēy-t(e)y may have meant both “to become light” and “to salute the light (by singing)” (cf. also gailis (“cock, rooster”), a word also possibly related to gaisma and dziesma).

From the same stem as šļūkt (“to slide; to drag one's feet”), in a different ablaut grade: Proto-Baltic *slyauk-, *slauk-, from Proto-Indo-European *slewk-, *slowk- (“to slide”). (Some researchers derived it from Proto-Indo-European *ḱlew- ~ *ḱlōw- ~ *ḱlū- "to clean, to rinse.") The original meaning was “to slide, to drag, to wipe,” initially used to refer to the motion of the hands while milking. Cognates include Lithuanian sliaũkti (“to crawl; to slide; to cast off, to make slide; to wipe; to flow slowly”)

vingrošana (noun-from-verb)

From the same stem as vingrs (“agile, strong”), made into a second-conjugation verb (ending -ot). In its present sense, this word was introduced by Atis Kronvalds in the 1870s, apparently based on a pre-existing dialectal term *vingrot or *vingroties (cf. dialectal vinguroties “to squirm, to writhe, to wiggle”).

nostājos taisni, nolaižu rokas gar sāniem, pāris reižu dziļi ievelku elpu un sāku vingrot

standing straight, I lower (my) hands along (my) sides, I breathe in deeply a couple of times and I begin to exercise

viņš nav vājāks, bet pat stiprāks nekā citi puiši, kuri beidza skolu... neviens nav tik daudz vingrojis ar hantelēm kā viņš

he is not weaker, but stronger than the other boys that finished school... no one has exercised so much with dumbbells

vingrojot jāievēro pareiza elpošana: dziļa ieelpa un iespējami pilnīga izelpa bez elpas aizturēšanas

(when) exercising, one must pay attention to (one's) correct breathing: inhale deeply and exhale as fully as possible without keeping the air (in)

to exercise, to do (physical) exercises; to do gymnastics
