"siekalas" meaning in Latvian

See siekalas in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [sīɛ̄kalas]
Etymology: From the same stem as slieka (“earthworm”) (q.v.), with dissimilation (*sliekalas > siekalas); note dialectal forms like sliekas (“saliva”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sley- (“slimy, slippery, glide”). The synonymous word slienas comes also from the same stem, but with an extra n instead of an extra k.
