Proto-Japanese: *sáki

Old Japanese: sakji

Comments: JLTT 517. Cf. also *saki-pap-, *sákár- 'flourish', *sakaja- 'prosper': these all may be derived from the same root *sak-, but mergers with the root *sák- 'to blossom' were also possible.

Nostratic: Nostratic

Meaning: luck in hunting

Russian meaning: удача на охоте

Tungus-Manchu: *saKa

Japanese: *sáki

Comments: A not quite secure Tung.-Jpn. isogloss. Since words for 'hunt' often go back to names of hunted animals, one can think of comparing PT *sajkak ( ~ *sajgak) 'antelope' (attested since Chag., see VEWT 395, ЭСТЯ 7), with the resulting correction of the PA reconstruction to *sajk`a. Cf. also *sĭgò and *sūku.
