klaudzis

== Latvian == === Etymology === A word coined in the second half of the 19th century by Kaspars Biezbārdis, probably from the same stem as klaudz(ēt) (“to knock, to bang”), as a 2nd-declension noun (ending -is). It was not really accepted. A. Kronvalds' coinage līdzskanis became more popular and replaced other competing terms by the beginning of the 20th century. === Noun === klaudzis m (2nd declension) (obsolete term) consonant ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== līdzskanis (obsolete term) neskanis === References ===
