sukti

== Lithuanian == === Etymology === From Proto-Balto-Slavic *sewk- (“turn, spin”), according to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *sewh₁- (“to set in motion”). Compare Latvian sukt, Proto-Slavic *sъkati (Russian скать (skatʹ, “twist, turn”), Czech skati), and see the Proto-Slavic for more. Also related are Latvian sàucêt, Proto-Slavic *sučiti. Beyond Balto-Slavic, hesitant connections have been made with Tocharian A ṣkārā, Tocharian B aṣkār (“at the back”), Ossetian хуы́рх (x°ýrx, “whey”), Latin sucula (“winch”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /sʊk.tʲɪ/ === Verb === sùkti (third-person present tense sùka, third-person past tense sùko) turn (change direction of movement) Sukti į kai̇̃rę draũdžiama. ― No left turn.
