"tarkka" meaning in Proto-Finnic

See tarkka in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

Etymology: Original sense "sharp". Has the variant *tarkëda, *tärkedä. If related to Erzya тарка (tarka, “place”) and Erzya тарго (targo, “week”), possibly from Proto-Finno-Permic *tarka, but this is uncertain due to the semantic gap. Has also been compared with Proto-Germanic *starkuz, but the semantic and phonetic differences seem insuperable. More recently, another Germanic word has also been put forward as a potential origin: Proto-Germanic *strakaz.

  "etymology_text": "Original sense \"sharp\". Has the variant *tarkëda, *tärkedä. If related to Erzya тарка (tarka, “place”) and Erzya тарго (targo, “week”), possibly from Proto-Finno-Permic *tarka, but this is uncertain due to the semantic gap. Has also been compared with Proto-Germanic *starkuz, but the semantic and phonetic differences seem insuperable. More recently, another Germanic word has also been put forward as a potential origin: Proto-Germanic *strakaz.",
