In more than 90 % of cases the translation of the noun will be \"saule\", but in poetical English texts the word \"sun\" is also used in the meaning of \"day\" (diena) or \"year\" (gads).

As for the verb, the letter L is not printed correctly. I try once more, in capital letters:

SAUĻOTIES

SAUĻOTIES

Sorry, I can not write \"L\" with diacritics here! It is not my fault....
