Yiddish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From a Slavic language, likely Upper Sorbian pjata given the unstressed ending; compare Ukrainian п'ята́ (pʺjatá) and Russian пята́ (pjatá). пя́тка (pjátka) is unlikely given the missing K, which would have yielded פּיאַטקע (pyatke).

Noun[edit]

פּיאַטע (pyatef, plural פּיאַטעס (pyates)

  1. heel (part of the foot)
