轢か

"轢か" is not a standalone word but a part of conjugations derived from the verb "轢く" (hiku), meaning "to run over" or "to hit (with a vehicle)."


In this context, 轢く refers to the act of a vehicle running over something.

その車が犬を轢きました。

That car ran over the dog.


Here, 轢かれる is the passive form of 轢く, indicating the subject was almost a victim of being run over.

彼は自転車で逆送して車に轢かれそうになった。

He was cycling the wrong way and almost got run over by a car.


This uses 轢き逃げ (hit-and-run), where 轢き is related to running over, forming a compound noun.

荷車が悪路で転倒しそうになり、轢き逃げを心配しました。

The cart almost overturned on the rough road, causing worry about a hit-and-run.
