"vāks" meaning in All languages combined

See vāks on Wiktionary

Noun [Latvian]

IPA: [vâːks] Audio: Lv-vāks.ogg
Etymology: From the same stem as the verb vākt (“to collect, to gather”): Proto-Baltic *vāk-, from Proto-Indo-European *wāk-, *wēk- (“to bend, to turn, to weave”), from a stem *wā- (“to move (away), to move so as to bend, turn”). The original meaning of the noun was thus “(something) woven”, from which “(woven) basket”, then “(basket) lid”, and finally “lid, cover”. Cognates include Lithuanian vókas (“eyelid; envelope; large woven basket”), Old Church Slavonic вѣко (věko), Russian ве́ко (véko, “eyelid”), dialectal also “eyelashes, basket lid, basket with lid”, Belarusian ве́ка (vjéka, “cover, lid”), Ukrainian ві́ко (víko, “eyelid, lid, cover”), Czech víko, Polish wieko.

  "etymology_text": "From the same stem as the verb vākt (“to collect, to gather”): Proto-Baltic *vāk-, from Proto-Indo-European *wāk-, *wēk- (“to bend, to turn, to weave”), from a stem *wā- (“to move (away), to move so as to bend, turn”). The original meaning of the noun was thus “(something) woven”, from which “(woven) basket”, then “(basket) lid”, and finally “lid, cover”. Cognates include Lithuanian vókas (“eyelid; envelope; large woven basket”), Old Church Slavonic вѣко (věko), Russian ве́ко (véko, “eyelid”), dialectal also “eyelashes, basket lid, basket with lid”, Belarusian ве́ка (vjéka, “cover, lid”), Ukrainian ві́ко (víko, “eyelid, lid, cover”), Czech víko, Polish wieko.",
