Latvian
Etymology
The usual theory considers ala to be borrowed from Middle Low German hol (“depth, hole, cave”), or maybe from the same form in Middle Dutch or German Low German (East Frisian); cf. German Höhle (“cave”).
A different view suggests that ala could also reflex of an old Proto-Indo-European stem *h?el-, *ol-, *al- (“to flow, to drain”) with various Baltic reflexes: dialectal alots, alogs, standard avots (“(water) source”), alksna, aluksna (“miry, swampy place”) (cf. place names like Al?ksne, Al?kstes), Lithuanian al??ti (“to flow, to drip”). The original meaning of ala would thus have been “(water) source”, from which “place (e.g., cave, rift, pit) from which water springs” and finally simply “cave,” possibly under the influence of the aforementioned Germanic words.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ala]
Noun
ala f (4th declension)
- cave (space or cavity formed underground, especially between rocks, or in the face of a cliff or hillside)
- burrow, hole, lair, den (the dwelling of some animals, in the form of a cavity with one or many exits)
