kokzāģētava f (4th declension)

1. sawmill (a building where one saws timber to produce wood for carpentry)

   viņi nogriežas sānieliņā; te ir īsts fabriku un kokzāģētavu rajons ― they turned into a side street; here is the real factory and sawmill district

   drusku tālāk upes abos krastos kūpēja kokzāģētavu slaidie dūmeņi ― a little further on both sides of the river, the slim chimneys of the sawmills were smoking

   “vajadzīga pašiem sava kokzāģētava”, viņš teica; “dažiem arteļiem tādas ir, tas atvieglo celtniecību” ― “each needs their own sawmill”, he said; “many work cooperatives have one such, it facilitates construction”
