O menos trint’e set’olas
E coidaban os larpeiros
De pagarmas con parolas.- Let them go to Hell to drink,
because they harmed me very much
and, among other things,
three hundred reals flew away.
They owe me God knows how much,

and the gluttons thought of
paying me with banter.
- Let them go to Hell to drink,

Latvian[edit]
ola on LatvianWikipedia
Etymology[edit]
From a previous Proto-Baltic neuter noun *wuolan, from Proto-Baltic *wuol-, from Proto-Indo-European *wēl-, *wōl-, the length grade of the stem *wel- (“to turn, to roll, to wind”), whence also velt “to roll, to trundle.” The original meaning was therefore “something that turns, rolls,” still visible in the dialectal verb olāt (“to roll, to trundle”), and in the standard Latvian term olis (“round pebble”), dialectally also ola. It is possible that Proto-Indo-European *h₂ōwyóm (“egg”), which would have become *wowan in Proto-Baltic, may have influenced the development of *wuolan into ola. A synonym term pauts was used alongside ola until the beginning of the 20th century, when ola became dominant and replaced it. Cognates include Lithuanian uolà (“cliff, rock”).[1]
