kakskiv

Norwegian Nynorsk

Alternative forms

kakskive, kakeskive (usually a not-phonetic spelling because of apocope removal)
kakskjiv, kaksjiv (can be considered as a misspelling)

Etymology

From kake (“cake”) +‎ skive (“slice”). Probably a result of semantic drift cake > bread. Anyway, the word kake itself has no meaning as bread in Trøndersk dialect (at least today).

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /kaːk.ʃiːv/

Noun

kakskiv f (definite singular kakskiva, definite singular dative kakskiven, indefinite plural kakskivo, definite plural kakskivonn, definite plural dative kakskivom)

(dialectal, Trøndelag) a slice of bread
(dialectal, Trøndelag) an open sandwich
