arklas

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === From Proto-Balto-Slavic *árˀtla; compare Latvian ar̂kls, Proto-Slavic *òrdlo. From Proto-Indo-European *h₂(e)rh₃-tlom (“plough”), from *h₂erh₃- (“to plough”). The word is equivalent to arti (“plough”) +‎ -klas; see for more. Cognates include Old Armenian արաւր (arawr), Old Norse arðr, Ancient Greek ἄροτρον (árotron). The Greek and Armenian terms may reflect the zero-grade, in which case the Proto-Balto-Slavic full-grade may be analogical after *arˀ- (“to plough”); compare i̇̀rklas (“oar”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈar.klɐs/ === Noun === árklas m (plural arklai̇̃) stress pattern 3 (agriculture, historical) ard plough (simple plough consisting of a spike dragged through the soil.)
