September 6[edit]

Latvian names[edit]

In nominative case of Latvian names, is the (sur)name-ending "s" pronounced? Splicanin (talk) 20:16, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. --Theurgist (talk) 23:07, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it's a "surname ending" as such. This adaptation pattern is discussed amusingly in the book "Lingo" by Gaston Dorren... AnonMoos (talk) 23:28, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both. @AnonMoos: Latvian has roughly the same declension pattern as my lingo, so no worries there, thanks once more. Splićanin (talk) 13:08, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
