ilk

== Translingual == === Etymology === Clipping of English Ilongot with k as a placeholder, influenced by English Bugkalot. === Symbol === ilk (international standards) ISO 639-3 language code for Ilongot. === See also === Wiktionary’s coverage of Ilongot terms == English == === Alternative forms === ilke === Etymology === Inherited from Middle English ilke, from Old English ilca, conjectured as from Proto-Germanic *ilīkaz, a compound of *iz and *-līkaz from the noun *līką (“body”). The sense of “type”, “kind” is from the application of the phrase of that ilk to families: the word thus came to mean family. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɪlk/ Rhymes: -ɪlk === Adjective === ilk (not comparable) (Scotland and Northern England) Very; same. ==== Usage notes ==== Used following a person’s name to show that he lives in a place of the same name, eg Johnstone of that ilk means Johnstone of Johnstone. === Noun === ilk (plural ilks) A type, race or category; a group of entities that have common characteristics such that they may be grouped together. ==== Usage notes ==== In modern use, ilk is used in phrases such as of his ilk, of that ilk, to mean ‘type’ or ‘sort.’ It often – though not necessarily – has negative connotations. The use arose out of a misunderstanding of the earlier, Scottish use in the phrase of that ilk, in which it means ‘of the same name or place’; for example, "MacLeod of that ilk" means "[the clan] MacLeod of [the place] MacLeod", in contrast to "[the clan] MacLeod of [the island] Skye". For this reason, some traditionalists regard the modern use as incorrect. It is, however, the only common current use. ==== Synonyms ==== kind likes sort type hue ==== Derived terms ==== of that ilk thilk ==== Translations ==== === References === Elizabeth J.
