Aka

Etymology

[edit]

FromProto-Baltic*ak- (with an extra), fromProto-Indo-European*okʷ-, from*h₃okʷ-,*h₃ekʷ- “eye”, whence alsoLatvianacs “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 includeLithuanianakà,ãkas(ice-hole),Old Church Slavonicоко(oko,eye) (gen.очесе(očese)),Russian poeticо́ко(óko),Bulgarianоко́(okó),Czech,Polishoko,Ancient Greekὀπή(opḗ,hole, opening, cave; visiion).[1]

aka

  1. (Caura River dialect and Brazil)at,in,on,to;indicates a specific location or goal at a non-aquatic object of class 1

Usage notes

[edit]

A possessed noun that is the object of this postposition does not take the possessed suffix-dü. The postposition can thus combine with nouns referring to body parts and parts of objects to form more complex postpositions/relational nouns.
