Vecāķi
Vecāķi ((:ˈvætsaːci)) is a Northern District neighbourhood in Riga, the capital of Latvia. It is one of Riga's neighborhoods lying on the shores of Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea. Westward Vecāķi is bordered by Vecdaugava – a partial oxbow lake (a dead-end fork of River Daugava that hasn't been cut off from it completely.) Thus Vecāķi offers both freshwater and brackish water bathing places, with the former having a higher water temperature come summer due to the smaller volume of Vecdaugava.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ūdens temperatūra jūrā pie Rīgas +18 grādu, upēs - līdz +24 grādiem )〕
==Etymology==
The name may be a compound of ''vecs'' and ''āķis'' pluralized to mean "Old Hooks." ''Vecs'' being a native Baltic word and ''āķis'' ultimately a borrowing from either Middle Low German ''hake'' or Middle Dutch ''haeck''.
Dzintra Hirša notes that connecting the name with fishing hooks is a folk etymology and that the name is derived from an alternate sense of ''āķis'' from a similar alternative sense of its ultimate source – the Low German ''hake'' – "cape; shoal, sandbank."〔Dzintra Hirša, ''Lībieši un lībiešu izcelsmes vietvārdi Latvijā'' in Kersti Boiko's ''(Lībieši – rakstu krājums )'', page 215〕
