Zur baltischen Herkunft von osfi. *mokka ’Lippe, Lefze’ [On the Baltic Origin of the Finnic *mokka ’(animal) lip, mouth’]; pp. 104-108

View through CrossRef
The possible Baltic origin of the Finnic word mokka ’(animal) lip, mouth’ is discussed: Baltic *smaka-, cf. Lithuanian smãkras etc. ’chin; beard’, Latvian smakris etc. ’chin, palate’, Lithuanian smãkės pl. ’pig snout, elephant’s trunk; animal incisors, fangs’, smãkas ’a detail of the pivoted main beam between the axles of a horse-waggon’. The Finnic *mokka belongs to those noteworthy cases of lexical borrowing, where the first-syllable vowel a is compensated by o, the reason proably lying with the donor language.
