loekin
Stage Modern CLT
Pronunciation /ˈlɔɪ.kin/
Part of speech Verb
Etymology from Middle lōkin, from Proto lokdin
Related words foekei, Oethboend, Foerg

loekin — to commit wholly to the work before you; to set everything else aside.

Notes

The single most common word of encouragement in an apprenticeship or an examination hall. Loekei is a decision, not a mood — you do not wait to feel it. Closely bound to the Station Oathbond, and a master who says it to a journeyman is invoking that bond directly. Contrasted with foekei (attention), which may come and go.
