Verb [Latvian]

IPA: [sâːkt] Audio: Lv-sākt.oga
Etymology: The origin of this word is unclear. It may come from Proto-Indo-European *ḱek-, *kek-, *sḱek-, *skek- (“to jump”) (whence also Russian скакать (skakatʹ, “to hop, to leap”)), from which, via ablaut, *kāk- > Proto-Baltic *šak- > Latvian sākt. Others suggest a different Proto-Indo-European stem *kā-, *kō- as the source, different from that of Russian скакать (skakatʹ). The original meaning was probably “to jump,” from which “to rush, to go quickly (to do something)” > “to start, to begin.” Cognates include Lithuanian šókti (“to jump, to dance; to rush (to do something)”).

It may come from Proto-Indo-European *ḱek-, *kek-, *sḱek-, *skek- (“to jump”) (whence also Russian скакать (skakatʹ, “to hop, to leap”)), from which, via ablaut, *kāk- > Proto-Baltic *šak- > Latvian sākt. Others suggest a different Proto-Indo-European stem *kā-, *kō- as the source, different from that of Russian скакать (skakatʹ). The original meaning was probably “to jump,” from which “to rush, to go quickly (to do something)” > “to start, to begin.” Cognates include Lithuanian šókti (“to jump, to dance; to rush (to do something)”).",
