Meaning & usage
transom, putlog (horizontal or transverse beam of scaffolding that is perpendicular to a wall)
Where this word comes from
From earlier jotka, possibly from Proto-Finnic *jotka (without any Finnic cognates), if from Proto-Uralic [Term?] (compare Erzya [script needed] (jutko, “gap”), Moksha [script needed] (jutka), [script needed] (jotka, “gap”), Southern Mansi [script needed] (jät, “middle”), Eastern Mansi [script needed] (jat, “middle”), Western Mansi [script needed] (jät, “middle”), Northern Selkup [script needed] (kotä, “middle; gap”)). However, the semantic gap and the narrow distribution leaves this uncertain. The -tk- > -kk- could be due to assimilation and/or influence from juko (and its variant jukko).
