Latvian etymology
Dear, please tell me where did you take cognates with Russian "расти"? I don't see anything on the pages 105-106. Soshial (talk) 12:59, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi . Pages 105-106 of what book? I use K. Karulis' Latviešu Etimoloģijas Vārdnīca; the article on is on pp. 738-739. On p.739, the text reads: No ide. *u̯erdh- : *u̯redh- 'augt' (which is one of the two stems which merged into Latvian ) arī kr.  (ssl. rasti), p., si. várdhati, vr̥dháti 'aug, palielinās, pavairojas', gr. orthós 'stāvs, taisns, pareizs'. That's where I got the connection to Russian  from. (Note that, since Karulis claims Latvian  resulted from a merging of two stems, then the Russian term is cognate only via one of these two stems, not the other.) --Pereru (talk) 20:18, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I have Karulis etymological dictionary as well (Riga, 1992). Does it have different versions? My question emerged after this: Russian word расти has no connection with Latvian rast (see расти), while обрести has (обретать). Soshial (talk) 22:03, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
