köken: From Proto-Finnic *raika (compare Veps reig), possibly borrowed from Baltic.
to bore, pierce through; gouge out (eyes) · to peck (chiefly of birds)
çekim: geçmiş נָקַרְתָּ
köken: Cognate with Arabic نَقَرَ (naqara, “to dig, bore”) and Aramaic נְקַר. The noun "woodpecker" follows from the verb, and just as in English refers to the bird's characteristic behavior of pecking holes into tree bark to find insects.
