פּיאַטע
Yiddish edit
Etymology edit
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 edit
פּיאַטע • (pyate) f, plural פּיאַטעס (pyates)
- heel (part of the foot)
