Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Finnic *aika. Cognate to Finnish aika, Ingrian aika, Livvi aigu, Ludian aig, Veps aig, Votic aikõ and Livonian āiga. Possibly from or akin to Proto-Germanic *aiwaz (compare Gothic 𐌰𐌹𐍅𐍃 (aiws, “age, eternity”), Old Norse ævi (“lifetime”), English aye). Another possibility is the borrowing from a Baltic language: compare Lithuanian eigà (“gait, flow”) or Latvian eja (“passageway, tunnel”) (from Lithuanian eĩti and Latvian iet respectively, both meaning 'to go').

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈɑe̯ɡ̊/, [ˈɑe̯ɡ̊]
