Akinakes
acc- to wiki it is a Scythian short sword/dagger whose name is not fully explained, I think.
Some say it is a derivation of Kingrak / a Turkish short sword/knife.
*
The word itself is worth looking at.
Akına: means Turkish something like to raid/razzia, from the root: ak- meaning to flow.
It is a possibility.
OR
from the root kına- meaning corporal punishment.
*
By the way KIN means the scabbard.
All Turkish words above are Old Turkish words. Maybe they are related to each other. Possible?
