Added March 16, 2006 by Yyy (talk • contribs) as a 'hypothetical plural of piens'. Since hypothetical word aren't allowed, this needs to be cited. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Or maybe we should just erase "hypothetical". Piens means "milk" in Latvian and I don't see why there wouldn't be a plural form of it. The plural forms appear on the declension table on entry for piens. --Hekaheka 02:02, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

I would have expected this on the definition line, which would/should read "Nominative plural form of piens." — Pingku^dimmi 05:41, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

I suspect it exists too, though I feel uneasy about an RFV-passed with no citations, we also don't have any Latvian contributors. It seems harsh to delete it if nobody has the language skills to cite it, but generous to pass it with no citations. Perhaps Dick Laurent can help (Opi) has he speaks some Lithuanian.

I added two citations. It might be difficult to add a third, because Google has relatively few Latvian books. Also, the 1979 song is in other books "Ganiem piens, ganiem siers", so the plural does seem to be odd. - -sche (discuss) 19:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to keep this in good faith as two citations in a poorly attested language (on the Internet) seems good. CFI doesn't explicitly allow this practice, but I like it. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:31, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Struck because the nominator appears to have withdrawn the RFV after two citations. - -sche (discuss) 07:31, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
