| | In Latvian, a number of words that didn't exist before were introduced into the language in the mid-to-late 19th century by certain authors (among which the most important was [[w:Atis Kronvalds|A. Kronvalds]]; for instance, {{term|ķermenis||body|lang=lv}} and {{term|ziedonis||springtime|lang=lv}}. I placed them in a new [[:Category:Latvian neologisms]], where I am classifying them by author, but [[User:EncycloPetey]] pointed out in my talk page that these aren't really neologisms, since they've been around for over a century. I had already worried about that before (I asked this same question in the Information Desk once (see [[Wiktionary:Information_desk#A question on neologisms|here]]). Do you guys have any good suggestions as to what I should name these categories, without the word "neologism"? (In the original discussion, someone had suggested "Latvian 19th-century coinages", but that doesn't include all words, since a few of them were invented actually in the beginning of the 20th century).--[[User:Pereru|Pereru]] ([[User talk:Pereru|talk]]) 03:54, 3 September 2012 (UTC) | | In Latvian, a number of words that didn't exist before were introduced into the language in the mid-to-late 19th century by certain authors (among which the most important was [[w:Atis Kronvalds|A.

| | + | : The terms that you refer to were introduced by the {{w|Young Latvians}}, right? How does {{term||Young Latvian coinages|lang=en}} sound? Or maybe {{term||Latvian National Awakening coinages|lang=en}}? —[[User: Ruakh |Ruakh]]<sub ><small ><i >[[User talk: Ruakh |TALK]]</i ></small ></sub > 04:17, 3 September 2012 (UTC) |
