a bear, especially a bear cub · any bear-shaped toy, especially a teddy bear · large man; bear
çekim: çoğul mackók
köken: Borrowed from Slovak macko (“teddy bear”), derived from Macko, diminutive of the given name Matej (“Matthew”). The “safe” sense (sense 4) is a semantic loan from German Bär (“bear; (slang) safe”). First attested in 1835.
pancake · latke; a potato pancake fried in oil, traditionally served on Hanukkah. · doughnut fried in oil, traditionally served on Hanukkah.
köken: Most likely from Russian ла́тка (látka, “pastry, patch”) and Belarusian ла́дка (ládka, “fritter”). Alternatively, from Ancient Greek ἐλάδιον (eládion) through a Slavic language (compare Ukrainian оладка (oladka, “Scotch pancake”)).
Probably from Low German Pick, Piäk (“pitch”) + -ert (noun-forming suffix). Compare Westphalian picken, piäken (“to stick”), northern German pekig (“covered in sticky dirt”). It is conspicuous that the vowel of Pickert, unlike that of the aforementioned words, is short in all dialects. However, this may be due to the shortening effect that following -er- commonly has in Low German.
