šokti
Lithuanian
Etymology
Cognate with Latvian sâkt (“start, begin”). Frequently connected with Old Church Slavonic скакати, скачѫ (skakati, skačǫ, “hop, jump”), скочити (skočiti, “jump, leap”), Proto-Germanic *skehaną (“spring up, emerge”). If so, we could be looking at a Proto-Indo-European s-mobile *(s)ḱeh₂k-, *(s)ḱoh₂k-[1], with the palatovelar present in the Baltic forms (< *śoˀk-) being neutralised after s in Slavic (< *skoˀk-).
