sukka

Estonian

Noun

sukka

1. partitive singular of sukk
2. illative singular of sukk

Finnish

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *sukka, borrowed from Proto-Norse [Term?], from Proto-Germanic *sukkaz (“sock”) (compare English sock, Swedish socka), from Latin soccus. Finnic cognates include Ingrian sukka, Karelian sukka, Karelian šukka, Livvi sukku, Ludian suk, Estonian sukk, Livonian sukā and Votic sukkõ.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈsukːɑ/, [ˈs̠ukːɑ̝]
• Rhymes: -ukːɑ
• Hyphenation^(key): suk‧ka

Noun

sukka

1. sock (garment covering foot)
2. stocking (garment covering foot and part of leg)
3. stocking (knitted hood of cotton thread which is eventually converted into an incandescent mantle for gas lighting)

Usage notes

If a distinction between socks and stockings needs to be made in Finnish, one may use lyhyt sukka (literally “short sukka”) for socks, and pitkä sukka (literally “long sukka”) for stockings.
