פּיאַטע

Yiddish

Etymology

From a Slavic language, likely Upper Sorbian pjata given the unstressed ending; compare Ukrainian п'ята́ (pʺjatá) and Russian пята́ (pjatá). пя́тка (pjátka) is unlikely given the missing K, which would have yielded פּיאַטקע‎ (pyatke).

Noun

פּיאַטע • (pyate) f, plural פּיאַטעס‎ (pyates)

  1. heel (part of the foot)
