Latvian

Etymology 1

There are different opinions on the origin of this word. Some derive it from Proto-Baltic *sel-, *sal-, from Proto-Indo-European *sel-, a variant of *ser- (“to flow”); in this case, the original meaning would have been “stream, river,” from which “body of water”(cf. Lithuanian sálti (“to flow slowly”), Ancient Greek ???? (hélos, “swamp”) (< *selos), Sanskrit ??? (sára?, “lake, pond”), perhaps also Latin insula < *in-sal-, and several river names: Salaca, Salica > Selke in Germany, Salate), then “something inside (a body of water),” “island.” Others derive sala from *ap(i)sala, from a verb meaning “to flow” (cf. Russian ??????? (óstrov, “island”), from Proto-Slavic *o-strov?, so that the original meaning would be “that which is surrounded by flowing (water)”). Still others consider sala to come from Proto-Indo-European *swel- (“to swell”), with as original meaning “(river) silt, deposits, sediments.” Cognates include Lithuanian salà; comparable Baltic-Finnic terms (Livonian sala (“island”), Estonian salu (“swamp island”), Finnish salo (“forest island; forest”)) are considered as borrowings from Baltic.

From Proto-Italic *solom (“base, sole”), from Proto-Indo-European *solom or *selom (“place, habitation”). Cognate with Lithuanian salà (“island”), Proto-Slavic *selo (“village”), Latin solum (“base, foundation; sole of the foot”) and Proto-Germanic *saliz (“house, dwelling; hall, room”). Proto-Finnic *salo (“island; forest”) and Proto-Samic *suol?j (“island”) are borrowed from Baltic.
