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.ʂiːv/
