"sils" meaning in Latvian

See sils in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [sils]
Etymology: From an earlier *silas, from Proto-Baltic *šil-, from Proto-Indo-European *sḱl̥-, the zero grade of *skel-, *sḱel-, perhaps from *kel-, *ḱel- (“to dry up”) (whence also Latvian kalst “to dry up”) + *s- (an s-mobile), or perhaps by metathesis from *ks-el-, from *ḱes- (< *ḱs-eH-), *ḱsā- (“burned, dried up”) (whence Ancient Greek ξερός (xerós), ξηρός (xērós) “dry” and Sanskrit क्षायति (kṣā́yati) “to burn”). The meaning change was probably “dry, sandy place” > “forest on a dry, sandy place” > “pinewood, pine forest.” Cognates include Lithuanian šìlas, Ancient Greek σκέλλω (skéllō, “to dry up”).
