sukti
See also: sūkti
Lithuanian
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *sewk- (“turn, spin”); compare Latvian sukt, Proto-Slavic *sъkati (Russian скать (skatʹ, “twist, turn”), Czech skati), and see the Proto-Slavic for more.[1] Also related are Latvian sàucêt, Proto-Slavic *sučiti. Beyond Balto-Slavic, hesitant connections have been made with Tocharian A ṣkārā, Tocharian B aṣkār (“at the back”),[2] Ossetian хуы́рх (x°ýrx, “whey”), Latin sucula (“winch”).[3]
