I'm a chemist, but had never heard of her until reading the article as featured on Dec 13, 2015. Of course I wondered how to pronounce her name. Can someone familiar with Latvian add an IPA version of it, so users like me can say it at least approximately right?CharlesHBennett (talk) 16:05, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
CharlesHBennett glad you enjoyed the piece. I don't speak a word of Latvian, but am fascinated by the numbers of Eastern Europeans who have been left out of western records, so I work on adding them to our database. Perhaps Edgars2007 can help with your request or knows of someone who can? SusunW (talk) 17:17, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I notified user at Latvian Wikipedia, who could add it. Will see, when it'll happen. --Edgars2007 (talk/contribs) 17:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
