"miers" meaning in Latvian

See miers in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [miɛ̂ɾs] Audio: lv-riga-miers.ogg
Etymology: From Proto-Balto-Slavic *meiˀrás, from Proto-Indo-European *meyH-ró-s, whence also Latvian mīlēt (“to love”) (q.v.). The meaning changed from “soft, nice” to “calm, peaceful.” A minority opinion considers miers to be a borrowing from Slavic, but several factors (among which the intonation of this word) speak against it.
