дудка

Russian

Etymology

From дуда́ (dudá, “fife, pipe”) +‎ -ка (-ka). Miklosich and Berneker considered this Slavic word to be borrowed from Turkic, but Vasmer and Brückner believe that the close sound rendition of these onomatopoetic words is a "mere chance". Cognate with Lithuanian daudýtė (“panpipe”).
