    I think yak means '...right?', or '...OK?', a word you stick on to the end of the sentence to indicate that you're pretty sure what you're saying is right, but not sure whether the hearer agrees, eg:

    matRuHsh lehnak, yak? Don't go over there, OK?
    beSSaH huwa xuk, yak? But he's your brother, right?

    It's equivalent to yexxi, which only men seem to use.

    That's the only meaning I can think of offhand. Hope it helps...
