Yes.

LC_COLLATE
copy "lv_LV"
END LC_COLLATE

Several others can be copied from lv_LV as well as they are identical:

LC_CTYPE
copy "lv_LV"
END LC_CTYPE

LC_MONETARY
copy "lv_LV"
END LC_MONETARY

LC_NUMERIC
copy "lv_LV"
END LC_NUMERIC

LC_TELEPHONE
copy "lv_LV"
END LC_TELEPHONE

LC_NAME
copy "lv_LV"
END LC_NAME

I don't know of any way to do that except using the LANGUAGE environment
variable, i.e. you can use these settings:

LANGUAGE=3Dltg:lv
LANG=3Dltg_LV.UTF-8
