köken: Inherited from Old East Slavic вьрвь (vĭrvĭ) + -ка (-ka), from Proto-Slavic *vьrvь (deverbal of *verti), from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to tie, string; rope”) which is ultimately cognate with *wer- (“to turn, bend”) whence the two meanings of the verb. Compare Belarusian вяроўка (vjarówka), Ukrainian верве́чка (vervéčka), Old Church Slavonic връвь (vrŭvĭ). Non-Slavic cognates include Lithuanian…
köken: Borrowed from French file (“line, row”), from Late Latin filare, from Latin filum (“thread”). Related to fileren (“to fillet”) and file (“computer file”).
line, queue (straight sequence of people or items) · range (line or series of mountains, buildings, etc.) · file (column of people; small detachment of soldiers)
çekim: çoğul jonot · tamlayan jonon
köken: SSA considers this word a sound-symbolic variant of juoni. Perhaps more precisely equivalent to j(u)on- + -o, with sporadic shortening of the root vowel (*joon- > *jon-). The forms juono and joni are also found, albeit only sporadically, in dialects. Related to Veps jono, which is found outside of literary Veps in the adverb jonol (“in a line (of e.g. people)”).
köken: Probably derived from čáry (“magic”), čarovat (“to conjure”), meaning a magical line, e.g. the delineation of a magic circle. Possibly connected also with Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to cut”). First attested in the 14th century.
Borrowed from Latin līnea (“line, thread”), from līnum (“flax”), from Proto-Indo-European *līno- (“flax”). Compare the inherited Old Spanish form liña, still used in archaic modern Spanish. Cognate with Portuguese linha, Galician liña, and Catalan línia and llinya.
