From Proto-Baltic *ketur-, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷetwóres (“four”) (stem *kʷetwer-, *kʷetur-), apparently an old compound, from *kʷa-, *kʷe- (“and”), and *tʷer-, *tur-, the same stem found in turēt (“to hold, to keep”), tvert (“to grasp”) (q.v.). In Latvian, Proto-Baltic *ketur- yielded at first cetri (IPA⁽ᵏᵉʸ⁾: [tsætri]), conserved in 16-18th century texts (as caetr, czaettri, czettri). The c was conserved in ceturtais, certurkārt, ceturksnis, but changed to č in četri perhaps under Slavic influence, helped by the final i (which also caused [æ] → [ɛ]). Cognates include Lithuanian keturì, Sudovian teter (from *kʲeter, from *ketur-), Old Prussian kettwirts (“fourth”), Old Church Slavonic четꙑре (četyre), Russian четы́ре (četýre), Belarusian чаты́ры (čatýry), Ukrainian чоти́рі (čotýri), Bulgarian че́тири (čétiri), Czech čtyři, Polish cztery, Sanskrit चतुर् (catur), Ancient Greek τέτταρες (téttares) (Homeric τέσσαρες (téssares), Doric τέτορες (tétores)), Latin quattuor.

spriešana (noun-from-verb)

This word results from the merging of two stems: (a) Proto-Baltic *spriesti < *spried-ti < Proto-Indo-European *spreyd- (“to press, to squeeze, to block”) (cf. Sudovian cognate saspriziz (“squeeze, crush”)); and (b) Proto-Baltic *sprensti, from *sprend-ti, from Proto-Indo-European *sprend- (“to pull, to stretch, to jump”), from *per-, *sper- (“to pull, to kick, to scatter, to strew, to sputter”) (whence also Latvian spert and sprēgāt, q.v.). The meaning of the (b) forms, perhaps with some influence from the (a) forms, has become dominant, evolving from probably “to pull, to stretch, to drag”, via uses such as sprīdi spriest “to stretch a span”, i.e., “to measure (a span, a gap) by stretching one's fingers”, to “measure” > “evaluate” > “judge”. The (a) form meaning has basically disappeared in standard Latvian, but it can still be found in several dialects, where spriest can still mean “press, squeeze”, and in the standard language in some derived terms (e.g., spriesties, iespriest, saspriest). Cognates of the (b) forms include Lithuanian sprę́sti (“to drive, stick into, to squeeze through, to throw, to stretch; to tighten, to harness; to judge, to decide, to solve”), Old Church Slavonic прѧсти (pręsti, “to spin (yarn)”), Russian прясть (prjastʹ), Ukrainian пря́сти (prjásty), Bulgarian преда́ (predá, “I spin”), Czech přísti, Polish prząść.

A minority opinion is that joks is a borrowing from Latin iocus, via a Germanic language. The term is attested in 17th-century dictionaries, where smiekli (“laugh”) is a synonym; these terms became semantically differentiatiated by the mid-19th century, when the meaning of smiekli was broadened. Cognates include Lithuanian juõkas (“laugh, laughter; joke, joking; jesting, fun”), Latin iocus (“joke, jest”).

From Proto-Baltic *ād-, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂edʰ-, a parallel form of *h₂eǵ- (“goat”) (whence Latvian āzis (“billy-goat”), q.v.). The term may originally have been adjectival (cf. Lithuanian ódinis (“skin, of skin”)). A relationship between terms for “goat” and “skin” is not infrequent in Indo-European; cf. Russian коза́ (kozá, “goat”), ко́жа (kóža, “skin”), or Sanskrit अजा (ajā, “she-goat”), अजिनम् (ajínam, “skin”). In Latvian, the term expanded its meaning to cover both human and animal skin (or fur), as well as animal skin as material for making objects, ideas often distinguished in other languages (e.g., German Haut, Fell, and Leder). The original meaning is perhaps preserved in the Finnish borrowing vuota (“(raw) hide, pelt”). Cognates include Lithuanian óda, Sanskrit अत्क (átka, “armor, outfit”) (< *h₂eǵ-ko-), Ancient Greek ἀσκός (askós, “leather wine-skin”), Albanian dhi (“goat”) (< *h₂edʰ-i).

Derived from a former verb *salt (“to be(come) sweet”) (compare Lithuanian sálti), which disappeared, possibly because of homophony with salt (“to be(come) cold”). It has the same stem as sāls (“salt”) (q.v.), with an extra d also found in other cognates. The meaning change of the verb salt was probably from “(being) salty, salted” to “having pleasant flavor, tasty” and then to “(being) sweetened, sweet.” Cognates include Lithuanian saldùs, Proto-Slavic *soldь (Old Church Slavonic сладъкъ (sladŭkŭ), Russian сла́дкий (sládkij)), German Salz, Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐌻𐍄 (salt) < *saltą (“salt”), Latin sallere (“to salt”) < *saldere, Old Armenian աղտ (ałt).

From Proto-Baltic *kelH-, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel(H)- (“to turn, to rotate, to move”) (whence also kult, q.v.). The original meaning of this word was therefore “moving place,” “movable member, organ.” Cognates include Lithuanian kelỹs, kẽlis, dialectal kialis, Old Church Slavonic колѣно (kolěno), Russian колено (koleno), and less likely Ancient Greek κῶλον (kôlon, “organ”), κωλῆ (kōlê, “femoral bone”).

Cognates include Lithuanian švìnas, Old East Slavic свиньць (svinĭcĭ) (Russian свине́ц (svinéc)); the word is also probably related to Ancient Greek κύανος (kúanos, “bluish metal”), from Hittite [script needed] (kuwannan-, “precious stone, copper, blue”).
