екать

е (je) +‎ -кать (-katʹ)

• IPA^(key): [ˈjekətʲ]

е́кать • (jékatʹ) impf (perfective е́кнуть)

1. (linguistics) to pronounce unstressed e as such rather than as i (as characteristic of some Central and Northern Russian dialects)

   Synonym: э́кать (ékatʹ)

   Antonyms: и́кать (íkatʹ), я́кать (jákatʹ)

• An example of this is pronouncing земля́ (zemljá) as [zʲemˈlʲa], instead of the Standard Russian pronunciation [zʲɪmˈlʲa], which could be respelled as *зимля́ (*zimljá).
• The opposing tendencies are known as и́кать (íkatʹ) (pronouncing unstressed e as i, as characteristic of standard Russian) and я́кать (jákatʹ) (pronouncing unstressed e as ja, as characteristic of some Southern Russian dialects and of standard Belarusian).
