チキナ
Ainu「雫」
Kayano explicitly separates cik na as dripping, and Tamura supplies the same sequence in a sentence. This accounts for the final ナ as part of a phrase, while the heading 雫 is a noun. Batchelor’s joined Chikna also means drip and remains a comparison; the historical utterance’s syntax is not fully recoverable. Mukawa chiba-mukawa/0#4318 also uses cik na in a sentence about liquid dripping from a pot.
