vedeklās (locative plural)
vedekla (singular vocative)
vedeklas (plural vocative)

Derived from vest (“to lead, to take”) + -ekla; the original meaning was thus “one to be led, taken”. The notion “marrying”, or “bride, fiancée, young wife” are often connected to the stem of vest (“to lead, to take”), probably because of the idea of the husband “taking, leading” the wife (away from her father); cf. Lithuanian vèsti (“to marry”), Russian неве́ста (nevésta, “bride, fiancée”) (√ *newo-wed-ta (“the newly taken, the newly married”)), Sanskrit वधू (vadhū́, “bride, young wife”). Note that vedekla is still attested in folk tales with the meaning “bride”. Note also a masculine counterpart in Lithuanian (but not in Latvian): vedẽklis (“young man old enough to marry, eligible, nubile young man”).

rakstīšana (noun-from-verb)

Originally the iterative form of rakt (“to dig”), in parallel to other forms such as rakāt, rakņāt (cf. lēkt “to jump,” lēkāt, lakstīt “to jump repeatedly”). Karulis derives rakt from Proto-Baltic *rak-, from Proto-Indo-European *rek-, *erk- (“to rip up, to rip open, to skin, to flay”), from the stem *er- (“loose, rare, sparse”) (whence also Latvian irt “to disintegrate”).
The verb rakt had earlier meanings such as “to pierce,” “to rasp,” “to scrape;” its iterative counterpart has then changed from “to scrape, rasp repeatedly” → “to make marks (on a surface), to carve” → “to write (inscriptions)” → “to write (in general).” The noun raksts is a nominalized form of the same stem; some consider it a back-formation from rakstīt, whereas others think that it is older (with the original meaning of “mark, sign”) and perhaps the original source of rakstīt, which would then be derived from it.
Cognates include Lithuanian rašýti, Sanskrit ऋक्ण (ṛkṇa, “Alternative form of वृक्ण (vṛkṇa, “cut off or down, torn; a cut”)”) and its root व्रश्च् (vraśc, “to cut down”), Hittite [script needed] (ark-, “break, crumble”).
