Albanian
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From older kah, from *kah ~ ngah (compare Tosk Albanian nga), from Proto-Albanian *en kaxa, from Proto-Indo-European *en kʷod so (“wherein, wherefrom”), literally ‘in which this’. Cognate with Old Church Slavonic къ (kŭ, “to”).
Preposition
[edit]ka (+ nominative) [1]
Etymology 2
[edit]From earlier *kaha, from Proto-Albanian *koso, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷeh₁s- (“scratch, cut”). For sense development, compare Slavic *volь - ox, from *valiti - to throw down, castrate.[2] Alternatively, the plural form qe suggests an earlier *kʷē, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws (“ox, cow”) via an unidentified Indo-European language.[3]

[edit]Conjunction
[edit]ka
- and (switching)
- Watingku maḻu nyangu ka wirtjapakaṉu.
- The man saw the kangaroo and the kangaroo ran away.
Usage notes
[edit]- Ka is a switching conjunction. When it links two clauses or sentences, it conveys that the second clause has a different subject from the first. In cases where the subject remains the same, the conjunction munu is used. In the example above, the subject of the second clause need not be "the kangaroo", although that seems the most likely possibility from context. The ku simply tells us that someone or something other than wati (the subject of the first clause) ran away.
- Although ka is spelt with a short a, the vowel is actually long (kaa). The misleading spelling exists for historical reasons.
