Ģ is for Ģenētika (genetics) and Ģērbties (to dress)
I'm calling bullshit on Latvians who call themselves 'pure-blooded'. An uncle of mine told me once – tongue-in-cheek but probably on the money – that Latvians are so good looking because all the best noblemen and soldiers from invading forces raped their women. There definitely is a 'Latvian look', but it certainly isn't from any pure Latvian origin.
Don't dare walk
across the road to buy your milk and bread in your flip-flops and
tank-top in Latvia, sniggers and smug grins from the locals ensue.
Latvians are always self-consciously dressed. Probably another
symptom of collectively low self-esteem.
