Proto-Slavic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Possibly related to Albanian kedh (“kid”), which would then render the Proto-Indo-European reconstruction as *koǵʰeh₂.
In older sources it is usually grouped with PIE *h₂eǵós (“he-goat”) but initial *k- does not match, or with set of Germanic cognates such as Old English hæcen (“kid”) and Middle Dutch hoeke, which is precluded by Winter's law.
