čuka
Serbo-Croatian
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
From Proto-Slavic *čuka, *čukъ. Compare Lithuanian čiùkaras (“sharp rock”), dialectal Bulgarian чука́ра (čukára) and dialectal Serbian чу̀кара (“sharp rock”). According to some others, the word is borrowed from pre-Slavic substratum due to the fact that it's absent in western Slavdom. Albanian çukë may be the possible original substratum word, coming from the abovementioned language.
