This noun has two plural forms, which are used in different situations:

• When talking about the eyes in anatomical sense, the 2nd plural is used (for example: "My eyes hurt." - "Oči me bolijo."; or "The spiders have eight eyes." - "Pajki imajo osem oči.").
• In other cases, where the word "oko" means other things (for example: "oko" meaning "a sprout on a potato"; or "kurje oko" meaning "a callus"), the normal plural is used.
• The dual is used when referring specifically to both eyes (for example: "He lost both eyes in the war." - "V vojni je izgubil obe očesi.").

Tocharian B

Etymology

May be a derivative ultimately of Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewg- ‎(“increase, grow”); one theory suggests it was a borrowing from the Tocharian A oko, with the same meaning, but it was more likely that it was taken from B into A instead, as is more often the case. Alternatively, another plausible etymology may be Proto-Indo-European *h₂ógeh₂ ‎(“berry, fruit”) (compare Lithuanian úoga, Latvian oga, Russian я́года ‎(jágoda), Old English æcern (English acorn)).

Noun

oko

1. fruit
2. result, effect, consequence
