karask

== Estonian == === Etymology === Probably borrowed from Latvian karaša (dialectal Latvian karaška). Loaning in the opposite direction (i.e., from Estonian into Latvian) has also been proposed. Another theory suggests a derivation from the stem, which occurs in karge (“rough, coarse”) (from Proto-Finnic *karkëda), compare karastama (“to harden”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈkɑrɑsk/, [ˈkɑrɑsk] Rhymes: -ɑrɑsk Hyphenation: ka‧rask === Noun === karask (genitive karaski, partitive karaskit) A loaf made from barley flour dough with buttermilk or sour milk, equivalent to a Celtic soda bread. ==== Declension ==== ==== Compounds ==== === References === karask in Sõnaveeb (Eesti Keele Instituut) “karask”, in [EKSS] Eesti keele seletav sõnaraamat [Descriptive Dictionary of the Estonian Language] (in Estonian) (online version), Tallinn: Eesti Keele Sihtasutus (Estonian Language Foundation), 2009
