"teika" meaning in Latvian

See teika in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [tēīka]
Etymology: From the same stem as the verb teikt (“to say”) (q.v.). Dialectally and originally the meaning was “saying, talk.” The current meaning (corresponding to German Sage, Russian предание (predanije)) appeared in the 1860's, perhaps under the influence of A. Kronvalds.
