From Proto-Finnic *akana, borrowed from Proto-Germanic *aganō (“chaff”),[1] from Proto-Indo-European *aḱanā. Cognates include Karelian and Votic akanõ, Veps and Estonian agan, Livonian agān, and German Agen and Ahne. Attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (16th century).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
akana
- husk (of a grain); (in the plural) chaff (inedible parts of a plant whose seeds are eaten as grain).
- Akanoiden erottamiseksi varhaisissa kulttuureissa heitettiin viljaa ilmaan ja annettiin tuulen puhaltaa pois kevyemmät akanat.
- To separate out the chaff, early cultures tossed baskets of grain into the air and let the wind blow away the lighter chaff.
