Latvian[edit]

Aita

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Baltic *aitā, from Proto-Indo-European *ey-, *oy- (to go) (cf. iet) with an extra syllable . The original meaning was thus “goer, one that goes (around),” a common source of words for “sheep” (cf. Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian баран (baran), a borrowing from Proto-Turkic *baran (one that goes)). An alternative theory, which derives aita from the diminutive avitiņa of dated avs (sheep) is less likely to be correct, since the avi > ai change would be irregular. Cognates include Lithuanian áita (feminine), áitas (one who walks around a lot; restless person) (masculine), Old Prussian aytegenis (small (quick, restless) woodpecker), Russian dialectal етенька (jetenʹka, name used to call sheep) (from *ěta- < *ait-), Hittite 𒇻 (iyant-, sheep) (lit. “goer, one that goes”).[1]

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

aita f (4th declension)

  1. sheep (esp. Ovis aries; generic word)

    aitu ganssheep herd (shepherd, person)

Usage notes[edit]

The term aita is more frequent than avs, both as a generic and as the specific name of the female.
