Etymology

[edit]

From nav- +‎ -akka, probably derived from the dialectal adjective navea with the same meaning. It has been proposed to be a borrowing from Proto-Germanic *snawwiz (short-haired), with a possibly secondary meaning of "fast";[1] this would imply a Proto-Finnic *navëda. Compare rivakka, ravakka.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈnɑʋɑkːɑ/, [ˈnɑ̝ʋɑ̝kːɑ̝]
  • Rhymes: -ɑʋɑkːɑ
  • Syllabification(key): na‧vak‧ka
