"wṓˀka" meaning in Proto-Balto-Slavic

See wṓˀka in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Of uncertain origin. If the root is inherited, it may trace back to Proto-Indo-European *wóh₁ks ~ *weh₁kés (“eyelid, eye covering”) and possibly be cognate with Albanian vetull (“eyebrow”); Derksen is doubtful, however. The reconstructed Proto-Indo-European root's relation to *weh₁y- (“to twist, wrap”), if there is any, is unclear.
