a wolf
Vaka 1 [Vedic vr̥ka, Indo-Germanic ṷḷqṷo = Latin lupus, Greek λύκος, Lithuanian vilkas, Gothic wulfs = English wolf etc.] wolf, only in poetry Snp 201; Ja I 336; II 450; V 241, 302. Vaka 2 (indeclinable): a root vak is given at Dhātup 7 and Dhātum 8 in meaning "ādāne," i.e. grasping, together with a root kuk as synonym. It may refer to vaka 1 wolf, whereas kuk would explain koka wolf. The notion of voraciousness is prevalent in the characterization of the wolf (see all passages of vaka 1 , e.g. Ja V 302). [BD]: voraciousness: i.e. to wolf down one's food.
