== Icelandic == === Pronunciation === Rhymes: -ɛklɪ === Noun === segli indefinite dative singular of segl == Ido == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈseɡli/ === Noun === segli plural of seglo == Latvian == === Alternative forms === sedli (dialectal) === Etymology === A parallel form to (still dialectally attested) sedli, from Proto-Baltic *sedula, from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (“to sit”) (whence also Latvian sēdēt (“to sit”), q.v.) with an extra ul; the original meaning was thus “seat” (cf. Latin sella (“seat; saddle”)). Some researchers consider this word a borrowing from Slavic languages, but others point out that the stem *sed- did survive in Baltic: e.g., segliņš (“spindle-tree”), named after the similarity between its fruit and a saddle. The two parallel forms segli and sedli co-existed well into the 19th century, at the end of which segli became the preferred form in the standard language. Cognates include Proto-Slavic *sedъlo (Old Church Slavonic седьло (sedĭlo), Russian, Bulgarian седло́ (sedló), Czech sedlo, Polish siodło), Old High German satul, satal, German Sattel, English saddle. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [sæɡli] === Noun === segli m (1st declension) saddle (horse tack item, placed on the back of a horse either for riding or for attaching a load to the back of the animal) jātnieka segli ― rider's saddle kavalērijas segli ― cavalry saddle nastu segli ― harness (lit. burden) saddle seglu josta ― saddle strap, cinch seglu kāpslis ― stirrup (lit. saddle footboard) piesprādzēt seglus ― to fasten the saddle sēdēt seglos ― to sit in the saddle izlēkt no segliem ― to jump out of the saddle viņš smagi uzsēdās zirgā, ilgi nevarēdams ierīkoties seglos, kā nākas ― he sat heavily on the horse, for a while unable to settle properly in the saddle (dated sense) seat (on a bicycle, motorcycle, etc.) sēsties seglos velosipēdam ― to sit down on the bicycle seat ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== seglot ==== See also ==== sēdeklis sedulka === References === == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Noun === segli n (non-standard since 2012) definite plural of segl == Slovene == === Participle === sẹ́gli inflection of sẹ́či (“to reach”): masculine plural l-participle feminine/neuter dual l-participle
