The current listing of pages in this category contains "aploksne, atkarība, atkarīgs, augsne, grieznes, iestāde, jēdziens, labklājība, neatkarība, neatkarīgs, priekšstats, seksīgs, seksīgums, tauste, vēdeklis, īstenot". But, except for "seksīgs" un "seksīgums", the rest of these words have been well known and in fact used as part of basic Latvian vocabulary for many decades (starting from around mid 20th century). They were neologisms once and are attested as such in lexicographical sources, but they don't fit that criterion any more. There exists an online Dictionary of Latvian neologisms, which illustrates and explains the new coinages that are entering the language in the 21st century. 77.219.1.183 03:24, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

I agree that these are more coinages than neologisms. — surjection??09:59, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
