Inherited from Old Church Slavonic нога ( noga ) , from Proto-Slavic *noga .
Pronunciation

нога́ • (nogá ) f
( dated , dialectal ) foot

Synonym: ( regular term ) крак ( krak )
Usage notes
In modern Bulgarian, the singular of нога́ ( nogá ) is mostly obsolete. Only the dual нозе́ ( nozé ) is being used, specifically in the sense feet ( the immovable part of the lower limb ) . The sense leg is nowadays conveyed by крак ( krak ) (originally: spanning , striding limb ).
