ūkis

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ewk- (“to become accustomed”), and compared with Sanskrit ओकस् (okas, “house”), Lithuanian jauki̇̀nti (“to domesticate”), Proto-Slavic *učiti (“to teach”), Tocharian B oskiye (“abode”). Smoczynski is implicitly skeptical of the above etymology, and suggests either a borrowing from dialectal German Hucke (“load on one's back”) (for which see hocken (“to squat, crouch”) for more), or, if native, from a Proto-Indo-European *uh₂k-yos, from *weh₂k- (“collect”), connecting the word to the seemingly obscure vókti (“to gather and hide grain under a roof”), as well as Latvian vâkt (“to collect grain”). However, for the latter derivation, he proposes no possible cognates outside of Baltic. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈûː.kʲɪs/ === Noun === ū́kis m (plural ū́kiai) stress pattern 1 farm Synonym: ferma farming žemės ūkis ― agriculture economy ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References ===
