кацам
Bulgarian
Etymology
Unclear:
- Possibly related to Bulgarian ка́ча (káča, “to climb”), Lithuanian kakėti (“to descend”), Latvian kakt (“to culminate”). Georgiev tentatively considers further association with Albanian këcej (“to hop over”).
- Filipova-Bayrova supposes Greek origin, from the aorist stem έκατσα (ékatsa) of Ancient Greek κᾰ́θημαι (káthēmai, “to settle”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ˈkat͡sɐm]
