Uralic etymology :

Number: 2

Proto: *ačka

> Nostratic: > Nostratic

English meaning: white

German meaning: weiß

Finnish: ahka 'Eidergans', haahka, hahka id., hahkea, haahkea 'grau'

Estonian: ahka (gen. ahka) 'Eiderente', hahk (gen. haha) 'grau'

Mordovian: ašo (E), akša (M) 'weiß; rein'

Mari (Cheremis): ošǝ̑, oš (KB), ošo, oš (U B) 'weiß; blond; rein'

Khanty (Ostyak): aš (DN), ȧš (C) 'weißer Ton, Lehm; Kreide'

K. Redei's notes: Das finn. und est. anlautende h ist sekundär: vgl. finn. ieho, ehko, est. ohv ~ finn. hieho, hehko, est. ho~hv 'Färse, junge Kuh'. Der Vogelnahme finn. ahka, haahka, hahka, est. ahka 'Eidergans, -ente' kann mit der am ganzen Körper des Vogels dominierenden weißen Farbe erklärt werden (sein ganzer Rücken und die Flügeldecke sind weiß). Ostj. 'Lehm' ist ebenfalls eine mit der weißen Farbe zusammenhängende sekundäre Bedeutung. Das Lautverhältnis mord. e. š ~ m. kš ist unregelmäßig; die Lautform des anzunehmenden m. *aša wurde möglicherweise von türk.-tat. akča 'Münze, Geld', kirg. akša 'weißlich; Geld' usw. beeinflußt. Ostj. C ȧ weißt auf urostj. *ä hin; die Lautentsprechung DN a ~ C ȧ spricht dafür, daß das Wort wohl kaum zum uralten Wortschatz der ostj. Sprache gehört. Falls die ostseefinnischen Wörter wirklich hierher gehören, so ist das k-Element der ursprünglichen Lautverbindung -čk- im Mord., Tscher. und Ost. geschwunden (Réd.).
