Ingrian
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]
Uncertain:
- Possibly borrowed from Russian чирок (čirok, “billet”), itself probably related to чурка (čurka).
- Alternatively, from Etymology 2, possibly due to the piece's motion resembling that of a cricket.
Related to dialectal Finnish sirkka and Veps tširk.

Etymology 2
[edit]Some way derived from Proto-Finnic *cirkka, possibly an old borrowing from a Karelian dialect.
The regular development from Proto-Finnic *c- is s- in Ingrian, and can be seen in serkka.
