Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Baltic *slankā-, formed by vowel gradation from Proto-Indo-European *slenk- “to cut, to twist, to wind, to meander; to crawl, to creep”. The original meaning was probably “crawler, creeper”, because of this bird's terrestrial habits and low flight. Cognates include Lithuanian slánka, slankà, slãnkė, Old Prussian slanke (“large woodcock”), Russian слу́ка (slúka), Ukrainian слу́ква (slúkva), Czech sluka, Polish słąka, śląka.[1]
Pronunciation[edit]

- sloka dzīvo mitrākos lapu koku un jauktos mežos ― the woodcock lives in humid deciduous or mixed forests
