fokka
Faroese
Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *fukkōną (“to blow”), from Proto-Indo-European *pug-néh₂-.[1] Probably related to Dutch fok (“foresail”), but it is unclear whether either language borrowed the term from the other.
Noun
fokka f (genitive singular fokku, plural fokkur)
- (nautical) A jib (triangular sail attached to the forestay of a sailboat, the clew of which reaches back about to the level of the mast).
