  "etymology_text": "Usually derived from Proto-Baltic *prie (with an extra suffix -k), from a form *prēi- of Proto-Indo-European *prāi-, *prəi-, *pri- (“to admire, to respect; satisfied, happy mood”). From this stem, cognates are derived (with different extra suffixes) in other languages, among which: Russian прия́тель (prijátelʹ, “friend”), archaic прия́ть (prijátʹ, “to relate favorably, positively”), Gothic 𐍆𐍂𐌹𐌾𐍉𐌽 (frijōn, “to love”) (compare Dutch vrijen (“to cuddle, to kiss, to have sex”)), 𐍆𐍂𐌹𐌾𐍉𐌽𐌳𐍃 (frijōnds, “friend”) (compare German Freund, Dutch vriend, English friend), Sanskrit प्रीणाति (prīṇā́ti, “to like, to love, to be kind to”) (< stem *pri-), प्रितः (pritáḥ, “happy, delighted; well-groomed”). But note that *prēi- is not an expected ablaut form of *prāi-, which casts doubt on this etymology. Another possibility is to derive prieks from Proto-Baltic *priek-, from *prei- (with an extra -k), from Proto-Indo-European *per-, *spʰer- (“to pull, to throw, to kick”); the derived form *prew- of this stem yielded Russian прыгать (prygatʹ, “to jump”), Dutch vreugde, German Freude (“joy”).",

  "etymology_text": "Usually derived from Proto-Baltic *prie (with an extra suffix -k), from a form *prēi- of Proto-Indo-European *prāi-, *prəi-, *pri- (“to admire, to respect; satisfied, happy mood”). From this stem, cognates are derived (with different extra suffixes) in other languages, among which: Russian прия́тель (prijátelʹ, “friend”), archaic прия́ть (prijátʹ, “to relate favorably, positively”), Gothic 𐍆𐍂𐌹𐌾𐍉𐌽 (frijōn, “to love”) (compare Dutch vrijen (“to cuddle, to kiss, to have sex”)), 𐍆𐍂𐌹𐌾𐍉𐌽𐌳𐍃 (frijōnds, “friend”) (compare German Freund, Dutch vriend, English friend), Sanskrit प्रीणाति (prīṇā́ti, “to like, to love, to be kind to”) (< stem *pri-), प्रितः (pritáḥ, “happy, delighted; well-groomed”). But note that *prēi- is not an expected ablaut form of *prāi-, which casts doubt on this etymology. Another possibility is to derive prieks from Proto-Baltic *priek-, from *prei- (with an extra -k), from Proto-Indo-European *per-, *spʰer- (“to pull, to throw, to kick”); the derived form *prew- of this stem yielded Russian прыгать (prygatʹ, “to jump”), Dutch vreugde, German Freude (“joy”).",
