Etymology
In some way from Proto-Finno-Permic *kakteksa (with syncope of the vowel in the second syllable). The vocalism indicates that the word was borrowed from Proto-Finnic *kakteksa (native inheritance would have resulted in **kuokcē). Alternatively, the word may have been inherited from a variant *käkteksä.
