чука

Bulgarian

Etymology

From Proto-Slavic *čuka, limited to South Slavic languages. Possibly of Paleo-Balkan origin (compare Albanian çukë (“hill; beak”), Romanian cioc (“beak”)) or native related to Bulgarian чу́кам (čúkam, “to hew, to forge”), ку́ка (kúka, “hook”). In the later case, the word would be akin to English height.

Serbo-Croatian

Etymology 1

From Proto-Slavic *čuka, *čukъ. Compare Lithuanian čiùkaras (“sharp rock”), dialectal Bulgarian чука́ра (čukára) and dialectal Serbian чу̀кара (“sharp rock”). According to some others, the word is borrowed from pre-Slavic substratum due to the fact that it's absent in western Slavdom, the substratum language being possibly Albanian.
