akcaya

== Indonesian == === Etymology === Learned borrowing from Sanskrit अक्षय (akṣaya), an instance of spelling pronunciation. The intermediate form would be *aksaya, but later subject to unusual orthographic variation by replacing -s- to -ç- during the Dutch colonial era. The letter was only used in that context by some Romance languages and their loanwords elsewhere including in Dutch (compare French çûdra). As the non-diacritical variant of -ç- collapses with native -c-, it was displaced by native pronunciation /tʃ/. The original spelling has been preserved by some emblems such as that of West Kalimantan. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [akˈsa.ja], [akˈtʃaja] Hyphenation: ak‧ça‧ya === Adjective === akçaya (comparative lebih akcaya, superlative paling akcaya) imperishable, undecaying === Further reading === “akcaya”, in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language] (in Indonesian), Jakarta: Agency for Language Development and Cultivation – Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 2016
