# akcaya
## Indonesian
### Etymology

Learned borrowing from Sanskrit अक्षय (akṣaya), an instance of spelling pronunciation. The intermediate form would be *aksaya, but later subject to unusual orthographic variation by replacing -s- to -ç- during the Dutch colonial era. The letter was only used in that context by some Romance languages and their loanwords elsewhere including in Dutch (compare French çûdra). As the non-diacritical variant of -ç- collapses with native -c-, it was displaced by native pronunciation /tʃ/. The original spelling was preserved by some emblems such as that of West Kalimantan.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [akˈsa.ja], [akˈtʃaja]
* Hyphenation: ak‧ça‧ya

### Adjective

akçaya
* imperishable, undecaying

### Further reading

* “akcaya” in Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, Jakarta: Agency for Language Development and Cultivation – Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 2016.
