Rfv-sense: "A Polish, Ukrainian, or Russian drink that is a precursor or variant of vodka. Also called okovita". I don't deny the existence of that particular beverage ("okowita" in Polish, "оковита" in Ukrainian), but I don't think it's ever called "aquavit" in English . --Hekaheka (talk) 21:11, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

- The term "aquavit" is in widespread use, but as far as I can see, your links use the word in the undisputed sense "Scandinavian liquor that is about 40% alcohol by volume". --Hekaheka (talk) 14:20, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
