Noun
vīķe f (5th declension)
- common bleak (small river fish of the family Cyprinidae, species Alburnus alburnus)
- vīķes dzīvo galvenokārt krasta tuvumā un pārtiek no piekrastes zooplanktona ― bleaks live mainly near the coast and feed on coastal zooplancton
- vīķes sālīt prata mūsu tālie senči jau tajos laikos, kad tikai iemācījās makšķerēt un uzzināja, kas ir sāls ― our distant ancestors knew how to salt bleaks already in the old times, when they had just learned to fish and found out what salt was
