Romanization

ota

1. Rōmaji transcription of おた

Latvian

Otas

Etymology

From *vota ([vuota]) with loss of initial v (like ola (“egg”), q.v.), from *wuo-, from Proto-Baltic *wan-, from Proto-Indo-European *won-, *wen-, *wā- (“to hit”). The original meaning was apparently “(something) for hitting,” at some point used to refer to the birch brooms used to hit oneself in steam baths, and then to all brooms. In the 1920s its use was restricted to the modern sense of “paintbrush.” Cognates include Lithuanian vánta (“broom for hitting oneself in steam baths”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ūōta]

   virsmu krāsošanai mājas apstākļos lieto otu, un katrs, kas krāsojis, zina, ka ne vienmēr izdodas krāsu uzklāt vienmērīgi un glīti ― for painting surfaces at home one uses a (paint)brush, and anyone who paints knows that you cannot always apply the paint evenly and neatly

2. (figuratively) painting style, work

   šī mākslinieka otai pieder interesantās klusās dabas ― this artist's paintbrush has an interesting quiet nature
