Borrowed from Korstek ''čakňa'', which is a calque of the English ''chairman'': čak (chair) + ňa (man). However, unlike in English, it is gender neutral. | |||
Čak is from the Proto-Indo-Korinthic ''*tʃʷakʰ'' (stone, a place to sit). | |||
Ňa is from the Proto-Indo-Korinthic ''*níā'' (man), from root ''*ní'' (having to do with people). | |||
