"zaļš" meaning in Latvian

See zaļš in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [zaʎʃ]
Etymology: From Proto-Baltic *zel-, *zal-, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (“to shine”), whence also zelts (“gold”) and several other color terms (e.g., zils, dzeltens). In fact, the color meaning of this term was at first not as specific as it is today: compare the dialectal variant zals (“brown, reddish-yellow, light red”), and also several borrowings from Baltic languages: Estonian haljas (“bright, shiny, shiny green”) (< *žaļas), Finnish haljakka (“pale, pale gray”). Under the influence of zāle (“grass”), its meaning stabilized as “green”. Cognates include Lithuanian žãlias, Old Prussian saligan (zaljan, zalgan?), Old Church Slavonic зеленъ (zelenŭ), Russian зелёный (zeljónyj), Bulgarian зеле́н (zelén), Czech zelený, Polish zielony.

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Baltic *zel-, *zal-, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (“to shine”), whence also zelts (“gold”) and several other color terms (e.g., zils, dzeltens). In fact, the color meaning of this term was at first not as specific as it is today: compare the dialectal variant zals (“brown, reddish-yellow, light red”), and also several borrowings from Baltic languages: Estonian haljas (“bright, shiny, shiny green”) (< *žaļas), Finnish haljakka (“pale, pale gray”). Under the influence of zāle (“grass”), its meaning stabilized as “green”. Cognates include Lithuanian žãlias, Old Prussian saligan (zaljan, zalgan?), Old Church Slavonic зеленъ (zelenŭ), Russian зелёный (zeljónyj), Bulgarian зеле́н (zelén), Czech zelený, Polish zielony.",
