- (orthography) semicolon (punctuation mark (;) usually indicating a pause longer than that of a comma)
- semikols ir samērā spēcīga atdalītājpieturzīme, ko galvenokārt lieto, lai krasāk nošķirtu atsevišķas salikta teikuma daļas ― the semicolon is a rather strong separation mark, used primarily to distinguish sharply between parts of a composite sentence
