Etymology

[edit]
Root
ܪ ܟ ܟ (r k k)
2 terms

From the older form ܪܵܟ݂ܸܟ݂ (rāḵiḵ). The shift of the second consonant from /x/ to /k/ is possibly due to the /k/ in derived words like ܪܲܟܝܼܟ݂ܵܐ (rakīḵā, soft). This shift must be ancient, otherwise the verb would have turned to ܪܵܐܸܟ݂* (rāˀiḵ*) like other G-stem verbs with 2 identical final consonants.
