[edit] Latvian

[edit] Etymology

From an earlier verb *jaukt ("to accustom; to tame"), of which the rare jaucēt ("to tame") q.v. was originally the iterative form. Semantic evolution: "accustomed, tamed" > "usual, habital" > "nice, pleasant" (cf. dialectal (Kurzeme) use jauks zirgs "tame horse"). Cognates include Lithuanian jaukùs ("tame, calm (animal); cozy, pleasant").[1]
