oka

See also Oka, and oká

English

Etymology

From Italian oca, from French oque, from Turkish okka. The Turkish is sometimes said to be from Arabic وقية (wuqīye), but some dispute this, since the latter denotes a much smaller weight. The Arabic probably came, via Classical Syriac, from Greek ουγκιά, from Latin uncia (“ounce, twelfth part”), from unus (“one”).

Pronunciation

• IPA: /ˈɒkə/

Noun

oka (plural okas)

1. A unit of weight in the Ottoman Empire and certain successor states, of variable value, but generally about 1¼ kilograms (2¾ pounds).
2. A unit of volume in Egypt (and formerly Turkey) corresponding to about 1.2 litres.
