Etymology
From a derived adjective of a masculine form, parallel to old neuter form , from 🇨🇬, from the o-grade form  of  (> ), meaning “mountain, peak” and secondarily “forest” (via, e.g., “mountain surrounded by forest”), from which also “tree”. Therefore, there originally was a noun meaning “forest, tree”, which apparently left traces in certain Kurzeme placenames (e.g., Garatmatas, a forest in Matkule), but eventually disappeared, perhaps due to homophony with its derived adjective  (< ). This adjective probably meant at first “(high) like a mountain”, “(tall, slender) like a tree” and then simply “high, tall” > “long”. Cognates include 🇨🇬 dialectal (reduplicated), , , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (dialectal also “forest of large trees”), 🇨🇬 (dialectal also “attic, loft”), 🇨🇬 dialectal , 🇨🇬.
