/ˈkɐktʲɪ/
OriginCognate with Latvian kakt (“to come to an end”), of uncertain further origin. Smoczynski, following Stang, derives the words from a Proto-Indo-European *kʷek-, comparing Proto-Slavic *čekati (“to wait, expect”) as the only adduced cognate. This is favored by Derksen. Note the root's similarity in form and meaning to Proto-Indo-European *kʷeḱ- (“to see, look”), though the relation between the two, if any, is unclear.
An older theory by Endzelins links the words to Bulgarian кача́ (kačá, “to hang, put, raise”); however, the Bulgarian term is thought to be connected with Gothic 𐌷𐌰𐌷𐌰𐌽 (hahan, “to hang”), which presents its own phonetic issues.
- to go, travel
- to reach, get to
