Latvian Language

I just realised that the names of all the cities in Latvian have the female gender. Well, life is a continuous discovering. Stay tuned! (make me know if you remember some male city :)

Wow, Rita, you're also here? :) In Latvian words ending with -s can belong to the 1st declinition (male) and to the 6th declinition (female). There aren't many words belonging to the 6th declinition and pils is one of them. I found out some cities myself: Talsi (male, plural), Preiļi (male, plural).
