Pronunciation

Noun

sök (nominative plural söks)

Usage notes

This older term has been replaced by the word näsäk (“insect”) (which ultimately derives from the Latin word īnsectum (“insect”), by way of the French phrase: "un insecte" [(œ̃ ).nɛ̃.sɛkt], which was transformed into [nɛ.ˈsɛk] and respelled as "näsäk").
