Proto-Altaic: *sák`a ( ~ -k-, -o)
Meaning: luck in hunting
Russian meaning: удача на охоте
Comments: A not quite secure Tung.-Jpn. isogloss. Since words for 'hunt' often go back to names of hunted animals, one can think of comparing PT *sajkak ( ~ *sajgak) 'antelope' (attested since Chag., see VEWT 395, ЭСТЯ 7), with the resulting correction of the PA reconstruction to *sajk`a. Cf. also *sĭgò and *sūku.
