aka class2
plural ofmũka Aka FromProto-Baltic *ak- (with an extra-ā ), fromProto-Indo-European *okʷ- , from*h₃okʷ- ,*h₃ekʷ- “eye”, whence alsoLatvian acs “eye”, (q.v. ); in fact,aka is, historically speaking, a variant ofacs . The semantic relation goes clearly via the similarity of a hole (from which one obtains water) to an eye. Initially probably used for “ice-hole” (like itsLithuanian cognate), and later “well.” Cognates (in addition to those listed underacs includeLithuanian akà ,ãkas ( “ ice-hole ” ) ,Old Church Slavonic око ( oko ,“ eye ” ) (gen. очесе ( očese ) ),Russian poeticо́ко ( óko ) ,Bulgarian око́ ( okó ) ,Czech ,Polish oko ,Ancient Greek ὀπή ( opḗ ,“ hole, opening, cave; visiion ” ) .[ 1]
