==Latvian==

===Etymology===
The origin of this word is unclear. If, as has been proposed, {{m|lv||gaist}} is connected to dialectal {{cog|lv|atgaiša}}, {{m|lv|atgaišis||wind blow; windy place}}, then its original meaning could have been “to blow, to breathe,” perhaps from {{der|lv|ine-pro|*(s)gʷes-||to extinguish, to quench}} (whence also {{cog|lv|dzēst}} “to extinguish, to quench”; [[q.v.]]): its [[w:Indo-European ablaut|length grade]] {{m|lv|*gʷēs-}} would become {{m|ine-pro|*gʷeys-}}, with [[w:Indo-European ablaut|''o'' grade]] {{m|ine-pro|*gʷoys-}}, from which {{der|lv|ine-bsl-pro|*gais-}} “to blow” → “to disappear with the wind,” “to vanish.” Another suggestion links {{m|lv||gaist}} to {{m|lv|ģībt||to faint}}; yet another, to {{cog|la|haereō||to cling, to adhere}}. Cognates include {{cog|lt|gaĩšti||to linger, to hesitate; to perish, to die; to vanish, to disappear}}.<ref>{{R:lv:LEV}}</ref>
