      Váian ao inferno a beber,
      Que a min ben me xiringaron
      E, entre mangas e riostras,
      Trecentos reás vöaron.
      Débenme, Dios sabe canto,
      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,
      at least a hundred and fifty gallons,
      and the gluttons thought of
      paying me with banter.

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]
