Altaic etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Altaic: *ni̯ák`ì
Meaning: mild, soft
Russian meaning: мягкий, нежный
Comments: An Eastern isogloss. The original meaning must have been 'mild', particularly (but not necessarily) applied to feelings, whence the more general meaning 'soul' in Kor. Turk. *jakĺɨ 'good' (see ЭСТЯ 4, 63-64) may be a merger of this root with *jakɨĺ- 'to approach' (q. v.). altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-tung,altet-kor,altet-jap,altet-reference,
