"asmens" meaning in Latvian

See asmens in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From Proto-Baltic *ašmen, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱ- (“sharp, pointed, edgy”), with a suffix -men. Etymologically, this is a doublet of akmens (“stone”), with a different development of *ḱ, perhaps because of Proto-Indo-European dialectal differences. Cognates include Lithuanian ãšmenys (pl. only; compare dialectal singular ašmuõ, genitive ašmeñs, Sanskrit अश्रि (áśri, “corner, edge, blade”), अश्मन् (aśman, “stone, rock, firmament”).
