"alkas" meaning in Lithuanian

See alkas in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Cognate with Latvian elks, Gothic 𐌰𐌻𐌷𐍃 (alhs, “temple”). The generally accepted etymology derives this from Proto-Indo-European *h₂lek- (“to protect”), but it could very well be from a non-IE substrate language.
