Verb

IPA: [lasîːt] Audio: lv-riga-lasīt.ogg
Etymology: Originally the iterative form (with ablaut) of an earlier verb lest, used with respect to birds (“to pick with one's beak”; cf. Lithuanian lèsti, and the related lēst “to calculate”), from Proto-Baltic *les-tei, *lest-ti, from Proto-Indo-European *les- (“to pick, to gather”), perhaps derived from the stem *el- (“to bend”), via a meaning such as “to pick (something) while bending down.” The later meaning “to read” came by analogy to German lesen, which has both meanings, itself also influenced by Latin legō (“to read; to collect, to gather”). A simultaneous change in case marking also occurred: from lasīt grāmatā burtus “to pick/read letters in a book” (like lasīt mežā ogas “to pick berries in the forest”) to lasīt grāmatā “to read in a book” and finally lasīt grāmatu “to read a book,” with the accusative form grāmatu of grāmata “book.” Cognates include Lithuanian lasýti (“to pick berries, mushrooms”), Gothic 𐌻𐌹𐍃𐌰𐌽 (lisan), Old High German lësan (“to pick up, to gather”), German lesen (“to pick (grapes); to read”), Hittite [Term?] (/⁠lis-⁠/), [Term?] (/⁠les-⁠/, “to pick (from somewhere)”).

  "etymology_text": "Originally the iterative form (with ablaut) of an earlier verb lest, used with respect to birds (“to pick with one's beak”; cf. Lithuanian lèsti, and the related lēst “to calculate”), from Proto-Baltic *les-tei, *lest-ti, from Proto-Indo-European *les- (“to pick, to gather”), perhaps derived from the stem *el- (“to bend”), via a meaning such as “to pick (something) while bending down.” The later meaning “to read” came by analogy to German lesen, which has both meanings, itself also influenced by Latin legō (“to read; to collect, to gather”). A simultaneous change in case marking also occurred: from lasīt grāmatā burtus “to pick/read letters in a book” (like lasīt mežā ogas “to pick berries in the forest”) to lasīt grāmatā “to read in a book” and finally lasīt grāmatu “to read a book,” with the accusative form grāmatu of grāmata “book.” Cognates include Lithuanian lasýti (“to pick berries, mushrooms”), Gothic 𐌻𐌹𐍃𐌰𐌽 (lisan), Old High German lësan (“to pick up, to gather”), German lesen (“to pick (grapes); to read”), Hittite [Term?] (/⁠lis-⁠/), [Term?] (/⁠les-⁠/, “to pick (from somewhere)”).",
