vatkata

From Proto-Finnic *vackat'ak (cognate with Karelian vatkata), from Proto-Finno-Ugric *wačka-, whence Erzya вачкамс (vačkams, “to pile up”), вачкодемс (vačkoďems, “to stick”), Eastern Mari (watškalt, “to pat with one's hand(s)”) and possibly Eastern Khanty вӑшкалтнән- (wăškaltnən-, “to spread water with one's hand”).

Alternatively, less likely from Proto-Finnic *vatkat'ak, from Proto-Uralic *watka-, whence Southern Sami vuerhkedh (“(of a reindeer) to rub against a tree to remove skin around antlers”), Moksha ваткамс (vatkams, “to skin, bark, peel; beat”), Eastern Mari вокташ (voktaš, “to tear bark off a tree”) and Tundra Nenets (wātā-, “to tear bark off a tree”).^[1]
