oka (plural okas)

(historical) A former Turkish, Egyptian, Hungarian, and Romanian unit of weight, usually of a little more than a kilogram.
- 1819, Abraham Rees, The Cyclopaedia‎^[3], volume XXX, Rottolo, page 632:
  At Constantinople, the cantaro, or quintal, contains 44 okes, or 100 rottoli; and the cantaro weighs about 123¾ lbs. avoirdupois, the oke 2lbs. 13 oz., and the rottolo 19⁴⁄₅ oz., and the chequee 11¼ oz. avoirdupois... At Smyrna, the cantaro, or kintal, contains 45 okes, or 100 rottoli. The batman is 6 okes, or 2400 drachms; and the oke is 400 drachms, and the rottolo = 180 drachms. The cantaro of 45 okes weighs 123 lbs. 4 oz. avoirdupois; and, therefore, the oke is = 2 lbs. 11 oz. 13 drs. avoirdupois...
- 1888, W.M.F. Petrie, Encyclopaedia Britannica, 9th ed., Vol. XXIV, s.v. "Weights and Measures":

Pronunciation[edit]

IPA^(key): [ò̞ꜛká]

Pronoun[edit]

oka (Kana spelling オカ)

(Saru dialect) they (third-person plural pronoun)

Usage notes[edit]

This word is not actually a proper pronoun, but is often used when it is absolutely necessary to point directly to a third person in conversation. The proper third-person pronoun in Ainu would be the lack of any personal pronoun at all, i.e., it has a null value.
