Folks,
I have read through all of these marvelous postings, and have only one
comment: I will enlighten the group with more Latvian words, but I can't
remember to which posting they belong.
Here they are:
Daugava is Latvian,...Dvina is Slavic
Jura is the Latvian word for Sea,
Ezers is the latvian word for Lake,
Strauts is the Latvian name for Creek / Stream,
Egle is the Latvian name for Fir,
Priede is the Latvian name for Pine,
L�pa is the Latvian name for Torch.
Thanks,
�irts
PS,
Sergei you are right about loan words, and the soccer game analogy.
