See siens.
Etymology 2
Mājas siena (1)
Pilsētas siena (2)
Alas sienas (4)
Cognate with Lithuanian síena (“wall, border”). Derived from verb siet (“to tie, bind”) in its older meaning “to braid, to weave” (see etymology of siet), which suggests that the original meaning of siena was “wicker-work”; compare cognates Avestan 𐬵𐬌𐬥𐬎 (hinu, “ties, bonds, hobble, chain”), Old Irish sin (“chain, necktie”). The current meaning suggests that house walls were originally woven with branches and twigs, and then probably covered with mud (compare with German Wand (“wall”), winden (“wind, twist, weave”)); some evidence from old folk songs supports this idea.[1]
