## Lithuanian
### Etymology

Per Girdenis, probably from an unattested Proto-Baltic *au̯ikā́ (“sheep”), with syncope of the *-i-, from a diminutive of Proto-Balto-Slavic *áwis (“sheep”), and exact cognate with Proto-Slavic *ovьcà (“sheep”), Sanskrit अविका (avikā́, “ewe”). The word experienced semantic shift from "sheep" > "sacrificial sheep" > "sacrifice". This derivation is favored by Derksen.
Older theories consider the word a neologism, derived ultimately from al̃kas (“(holy) grove on a hill; idol”), created by the writer Simonas Daukantas, from a phonetic reinterpretation of the phrase al̃ko kálnas (“sacred hill”) as aũka kálns. Derksen acknowledges the possibility of the derivation from al̃kas; however, he notes that aukà is attested in texts that predate Daukantas, in addition to Girdenis's theory accounting for the fate of the Baltic cognate of Proto-Slavic *ovьcà, which is otherwise unexplained.

### Pronunciation
