Comment Second meaning is archaic. The word is a reflex of Proto-Algonquian *axkyi ‘land’. While the primary meaning of *axkyi, retained in all reflexes in daughter languages, was ‘land’, traces of the meanings ‘year’ and ‘summer’ are preserved in the Cree derived verbs aski·wan ‘it is earth, summer, year’ and aski·wiw ‘it is earth, summer, year’ (Zhivlov 2019)
