/ˈʂoːk.tʲɪ/
KilmėCognate with Latvian sākt (“to begin, to start”), with further origin unclear. The traditional connection to Ancient Greek κηκῐ́ς (kēkĭ́s, “ooze”) is rejected by Beekes (see there for more). Otherwise, frequently connected with Old Church Slavonic скакати, скачѫ (skakati, skačǫ, “hop, jump”), скочити (skočiti, “jump, leap”), Proto-Germanic *skehaną (“spring up, emerge”). If so, we could be looking at a Proto-Indo-European s-mobile *(s)ḱeh₂k-, *(s)ḱoh₂k-, with the palatovelar present in the Baltic forms (< *śoˀk-) being neutralised after s in Slavic (< *skoˀk-).
- jump, leap
“Aukštai šokdamas, paliko kelnes” — Making a high jump he has left the pants down.
- hop, skip (move by jumping)
“Žiógas šóka per̃ pievẽlę” — A grasshopper is hopping across the lawn.
- run about, work a lot; (with apiẽ + accusative) fuss, pander to someone's needs
- spring up, appear suddenly; act, set about suddenly
“Vė́jas šóko šakosè ir̃ mė́tė lapùs añt žẽmės.” — The wind gushed through the branches, throwing leaves to the ground.
“Pamãtę patrùlinį automobi̇̀lį, visi̇̀ šóko bė̃gti.” — When they saw the patrol car, they all broke into a run.
- dance (move in rhythm to music)
