ayaqqabı

== Azerbaijani == === Etymology === Historically an izafet II compound of ayaq (“foot”) +‎ qabı (“container, case”), but hardly perceived as such presently due to phonological developments: ayaq lost its secondary stress and /ɡ/ in qabı is devoiced to /k/, something that only happens word-internally. Furthermore, the nominative plural is normally ayaqqabılar, not ayaqqabları. Cognate with Turkish ayakkabı and Crimean Tatar ayaqqap. Middle Armenian ոտնաման (otnaman) may be a Turkic calque. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ɑjɑχɡɑˈbɯ], [ɑjɑχkɑˈbɯ], [ɑjɑkːɑˈbɯ] Hyphenation: a‧yaq‧qa‧bı === Noun === ayaqqabı (definite accusative ayaqqabını, plural ayaqqabılar) shoe ==== Declension ====
