Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Probably related to Old English heaþor (“enclosure, jail”), Latin catīnus (“large bawl dish”), Ancient Greek κοτύλη (kotúlē, “a cup, a pint”). If the meaning containment, grouping is taken as original, then possible relatives could also be Proto-Slavic *četa (“troop”), Proto-Slavic *košь (“basket”) (via s-telic extension), Proto-Slavic *košara (“pen, sheepfold”).

The kind of relation to the verb Proto-Slavic *kotiti (“to bear a young one”) (if not derived from the wander-word Proto-Slavic *kotъ (“cat”)) and its derivative Proto-Slavic *kotidlo (“nest, brood”) is undetermined.
