*flakaz
Runic: ᚠᛚᚨᚲᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈɸlɑ.kɑz/adjective · a-stem
Meanings
flat
Etymology
Uncertain. Possibly from the root of the iterative *flakkōną (to beat’), though the degemination of *-kk-is unexplained in this instance, since it follows a short vowel. The original meaning may have been ‘beaten flat, flattened’.
