spogulis

Etymology
From,  (> , ), from. Originally a dialectal word with many variant forms, meaning “shine, gloss, sheen.” introduced it in the literary language in the 1860s, first to mean “shiny surface (of water)” (ūdens-spogulis), from which it spread to its other current meanings (compare 🇨🇬). The word really entered the literary language after A. Pumpurs included it in his epic poem Lāčplēsis (“Bear-slayer”). It has mostly replaced a former 🇨🇬 borrowing.
