Vankaka (nt.) [fr. vanka] a sort of toy: Rh. D. "toy- plough" (Dial. i.10); Kern "miniature fish-hook" (Toev. s. v.). Rh. D. derives it fr. Sk. vṛka (see P. vaka1). Bdhgh at DA i.86 takes it as "toy-plough." See D i.6; Vin ii.10 (v. l. vangaka & vankata); iii.180 (v.l. cangaka); A v.203 (T. vanka; v. l. vankaka); Miln 229. At ThA 15 vankaka is used in general meaning of "something crooked" (to explain Th 2, 11 khujja), which is specified at Th 1, 43 as sickle, plough and spade.
