нога

Bulgarian

Etymology

From Proto-Slavic *noga (originally: claw), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃nogʰ-.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [noˈɡa]

Noun

нога́ • (nogá) f

1. (dated, dialectal) foot

   Synonyms: ходи́ло (hodílo), стъпа́ло (stǎpálo)

2. (dated, dialectal) leg

   Synonym: (regular term) крак (krak)

Usage notes

In modern Bulgarian, the singular of нога́ (nogá) is mostly obsolete. Only the dual нозе́ (nozé) is being used, specifically in the sense feet (the immovable part of the lower limb). The sense leg is nowadays conveyed by крак (krak) (originally: spanning, striding limb).
