мотика

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *motyka. There is no consensus on further origin:

• Indo-Europeanists treat it as a wanderwort, akin to Latin mateola, Proto-West Germanic *mattjuk;
• Some Slavists (e.g. Mladenov) are leaned to consider it as native, (synchronically) derived from мота́я (motája, “to reel”) +‎ -ика (-ika).

• IPA^(key): [moˈtikɐ]
