Latvian Words for Dawn

I lived in Latvia for four months in 1997 and sadly my memory of Latvian is so rusty now. While at home I promised Dawn to write down some words we came across in my Latvian-English dictionary, and here they are:
paldies: thank you (pahl-DEE-ehss)
warrent: pilnvara (PILN-vara)
Daschund: taksis, āpšu suns (TAK-sees)
cat: kaķis (KA-cheess)
icicle: lāsteka (lahs-TAY-ka)
hazelnut: lazda (LAHS-da)
please: lūdzu (LOOD-zu)
greetings: sveiki (SVAY-kee)
www.lv -- how do you like that for efficiency?

    Wow -- that is a pretty efficient URL.

    Thanks for the words! I think it would be fun to learn some more Latvian and visit there someday together.

    Love,

    Dawny
