aukla

== Latvian == === Etymology === From the same source as the verb aut “to put on (shoes):” Proto-Baltic *autlā- (with tl > kl), from Proto-Indo-European *ow- “to tie, to bind” with an extra nominalizing suffix *-tlo, used to derive names of tools or weapons relating to the action described by the original stem (i.e., the original meaning of aukla was probably “thing for binding, tying (with)”). Cognates include Lithuanian aũklas “(primitive) shoe laces,” “(primitive) shoes,” aũklė “(primitive) shoe laces,” “rope,” “sock without soles,” Old Prussian auclo ([auklo]) “bridle without bit.” === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [àwkla] === Noun === aukla f (4th declension) string, cord, line, lace (long, usually thin, braiding of vegetable or plastic filaments, used for tying or binding) tieva, resna aukla ― thin, thick string, cord linu aukla ― flax string papīra aukla ― paper string kaprona aukla ― nylon string, cord kaņepāju aukla ― hemp rope pātagas aukla ― whip rope kurpju auklas ― shoelaces makšķeres aukla ― fishing line pārsiet saini ar auklu ― to tie a bundle with a string, rope vīt auklu ― to make (lit. twist, wreathe) a string sasiet kurpju auklas ― to tie the shoelaces es turu ciet maisu un tveru pēc auklas, ar ko aizsiet ― I keep the bag closed and reach for the strings to close it ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== saite ==== Related terms ==== aut === References ===
