## Latvian
### Etymology

From Proto-Baltic *ketur-, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷetwóres (“four”) (stem *kʷetwer-, *kʷetur-), apparently an old compound, from *kʷa-, *kʷe- (“and”), and *tʷer-, *tur-, the same stem found in turēt (“to hold, to keep”), tvert (“to grasp”) (q.v.). In Latvian, Proto-Baltic *ketur- yielded at first cetri (IPA: [tsætri]), conserved in 16-18th century texts (as caetr, czaettri, czettri). The c was conserved in ceturtais, certurkārt, ceturksnis, but changed to č in četri perhaps under Slavic influence, helped by the final i (which also caused [æ] → [ɛ]). Cognates include Lithuanian keturì, Sudovian teter (from *kʲeter, from *ketur-), Old Prussian kettwirts (“fourth”), Old Church Slavonic четꙑре (četyre), Russian четы́ре (četýre), Belarusian чаты́ры (čatýry), Ukrainian чоти́рі (čotýri), Bulgarian че́тири (čétiri), Czech čtyři, Polish cztery, Sanskrit चतुर् (catur), Ancient Greek τέτταρες (téttares) (Homeric τέσσαρες (téssares), Doric τέτορες (tétores)), Latin quattuor.
