nape of the neck · the joint portion of the neck which joins the vertebrae (which has no regularly used English name)
çekim: çoğul Genicke · tamlayan Genicks
eş: Halswirbelsäule, Nacken
köken: From Middle High German genicke, collective of nac, nacke (whence modern Nacken). The -i- can be explained from underlying *genecke through influence of nicken (“to nod”). Alternatively, Middle High German genicke could be derived from the e-variant in Dutch nek, English neck (which is not attested in High German, however). Cognate with Hunsrik Gnick.
aile: das Genick brechen, das Genick umdrehen, Genickfang, Genickschuss, Genickstarre
Bin ich schöner? / Zerschneid mir das Gesicht / Bin ich stärker? / Brich feige mein Genick / Bin ich klüger? / Töte mich und iss mein Hirn
köken: Inherited from Old Spanish pescueço, with the first part deriving from the Latin prefix post and the second from an earlier coço; compare Galician pescozo and Portuguese pescoço.
köken: Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese pescoço (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria), from post- (“after”) + *coccius (“nape”). Cognate with Portuguese pescoço and Spanish pescuezo.
