"laiva" meaning in Latvian

See laiva in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [lāīva] Audio: lv-riga-laiva.ogg
Etymology: Cognates include Lithuanian laĩvas, dialectal laĩvė, archaic laĩva. The relationship by borrowing to Proto-Finnic *laiva (Finnish laiva “ship; nave”, Estonian laev, Livonian lōja) is also undisputed, leaving the question of which family had the word first. It is now identified as a borrowing from Proto-Germanic *flawją (cf. Old Norse fley “boat,” “raft”) into Finnic and thence Baltic, showing the Finnic sound law *vj > jv established by Koivulehto (1970). Earlier, a Baltic inherited origin had been sought. Karulis took the word to be perhaps originally used by Curonian fishermen and later spread to all the Eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, and offered the internal etymology Proto-Baltic *leiw-, *laiw-, from Proto-Indo-European *ley- with an extra -w, from *el-ey, from *Heh₃l- (“to bend, to turn”); this theory would make the original meaning “bent, concave (object).” Etymology templates: {{cog|lt|laĩvas}} Lithuanian laĩvas, {{m|lt|laĩvė}} laĩvė, {{m|lt|laĩva}} laĩva, {{uder|lv|urj-fin-pro|*laiva}} Proto-Finnic *laiva, {{cog|fi|laiva}} Finnish laiva, {{cog|et|laev}} Estonian laev, {{cog|liv|loja|lōja}} Livonian lōja, {{cog|gem-pro|*flawją}} Proto-Germanic *flawją, {{cog|non|fley}} Old Norse fley, {{uder|lv|bat-pro|*leiw-}} Proto-Baltic *leiw-, {{m|ine-bsl-pro|*laiw-}} *laiw-, {{uder|lv|ine-pro|*ley-}} Proto-Indo-European *ley-, {{m|ine-pro|*el-ey}} *el-ey, {{m|ine-pro|*Heh₃l-||to bend, to turn}} *Heh₃l- (“to bend, to turn”) Head templates: {{head|lv|noun|g=f|g2=|head=|sort=}} laiva f, {{lv-noun|f|4th}} laiva f (4th declension) Inflection templates: {{lv-decl-noun|laiv|a|4th|extrawidth=-60}}, {{lv-decl-noun-4|laiv|a|4=|5=|6=|7=|8=|drop-v=|keep-s=|x=-60}}, {{lv-decl-noun-table|laiva|laivas|laivu|laivas|laivas|laivu|laivai|laivām|laivu|laivām|laivā|laivās|laiva|laivas|16=|type=4th declension|x=-60}} Forms: declension-4 [table-tags], laiva [nominative, singular], laivas [nominative, plural], laivu [accusative, singular], laivas [accusative, plural], laivas [genitive, singular], laivu [genitive, plural], laivai [dative, singular], laivām [dative, plural], laivu [instrumental, singular], laivām [instrumental, plural], laivā [locative, singular], laivās [locative, plural], laiva [singular, vocative], laivas [plural, vocative]

  "etymology_text": "Cognates include Lithuanian laĩvas, dialectal laĩvė, archaic laĩva. The relationship by borrowing to Proto-Finnic *laiva (Finnish laiva “ship; nave”, Estonian laev, Livonian lōja) is also undisputed, leaving the question of which family had the word first. It is now identified as a borrowing from Proto-Germanic *flawją (cf. Old Norse fley “boat,” “raft”) into Finnic and thence Baltic, showing the Finnic sound law *vj > jv established by Koivulehto (1970). Earlier, a Baltic inherited origin had been sought. Karulis took the word to be perhaps originally used by Curonian fishermen and later spread to all the Eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, and offered the internal etymology Proto-Baltic *leiw-, *laiw-, from Proto-Indo-European *ley- with an extra -w, from *el-ey, from *Heh₃l- (“to bend, to turn”); this theory would make the original meaning “bent, concave (object).”",
