[[File:Sheep J1.jpg|thumb|250px|Aita]]

===Etymology===
From {{inh|lv|bat-pro|*aitā}}, from {{inh|lv|ine-pro|*ey-}}, {{m|ine-pro|*oy-||to go}} ([[Appendix:Glossary#cf.|cf.]] {{m|lv|iet}}) with an extra syllable ''tā''. The original meaning was thus “goer, one that goes (around),” a common source of words for “sheep” (cf. [[w:Russian language|Russian]], [[w:Belarusian language|Belarusian]], [[w:Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] {{m|ru|баран}}, a [[Appendix:Glossary#loanword|borrowing]] from [[w:Proto-Turkic language|Proto-Turkic]] {{m|trk-pro|*baran||one that goes}}). An alternative theory, which derives ''aita'' from the diminutive {{m|lv|avitiņa}} of dated {{m|lv|avs||sheep}} is less likely to be correct, since the ''avi'' > ''ai'' change would be irregular. Cognates include {{cog|lt|áita}} (feminine), {{m|lt|áitas||one who walks around a lot; restless person}} (masculine), {{cog|prg|aytegenis||small (quick, restless) woodpecker}}, [[w:Russian language|Russian]] dialectal {{m|ru|етенька||name used to call sheep}} (from {{m|sla-pro||*ěta-}} < {{m|sla-pro||*ait-}}), {{cog|hit|𒇻||sheep|tr=iyant-}} (lit. “goer, one that goes”).<ref>{{R:lv:LEV}}</ref>

===Pronunciation===
* {{lv-IPA|àjta|falling}}
* {{audio|lv|lv-riga-aita.ogg}}

===Noun===
{{lv-noun|f|4th}}

# [[sheep]] {{gloss|esp. {{taxfmt|Ovis aries|species}}; generic word}}
#: {{ux|lv|mājas '''aita'''|domestic '''sheep'''|inline=1}}

====Usage notes====
The term {{m|lv|aita}} is more frequent than {{m|lv|avs}}, both as a generic and as the specific name of the female.
