In Livonian itself a shift õ > ü > i could have taken place. This is not without problems, however, as such a shift has taken place in the western dialect of Livonian, however, Pitrags is located within the area of the eastern dialect.Kersti Boiko, Ziemeļkurzemes piekrastes lībiešu ciemu vietvārdi in Kersti Boiko's Lībieši – rakstu krājums, page 220 Pronunciation Proper noun liv proper noun liv village r/Courland c/Latvia Pitrags Pitrõg – Pitrõg – Pitrags Pitrags – Pitrags – Pitrags Declension 159 sg 1 References
