"ọkịka" meaning in Yoruba

See ọkịka in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɔ̀.kɪ̀.kā/ Forms: ọ̀kị̀ka [canonical]
Etymology: From ọ̀- + kị̀ka, the root ka can be found in other terms for finger, see Doublet of ìka, Doublet of ùka, proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruba *ʊ̀-ka. Perhaps potentially from the same root as èjìká and aká, which can be traced back to Proto-Niger-Congo *-ka (“hand, five”), however the tonal differences of the "a" make this unclear. If not, it is likely a Doublet of ẹ̀ka (branch), suggesting a derivation from a root meaning "to be divided," to be "branched out." Etymology templates: {{af|yo|ọ̀-|kị̀ka}} ọ̀- + kị̀ka, {{doublet|yo|ìka}} Doublet of ìka, {{doublet|yo|ùka}} Doublet of ùka, {{inh|yo|alv-yor-pro|*ʊ̀-ka}} Proto-Yoruba *ʊ̀-ka, {{cog|nic-pro|*-ka|t=hand, five}} Proto-Niger-Congo *-ka (“hand, five”), {{doublet|yo|ẹ̀ka}} Doublet of ẹ̀ka Head templates: {{head|yo|noun|head=ọ̀kị̀ka|head2=}} ọ̀kị̀ka, {{yo-pos|noun|ọ̀kị̀ka|}} ọ̀kị̀ka, {{yo-noun|ọ̀kị̀ka}} ọ̀kị̀ka
