Proto-Uralic

Etymology

Akin to Proto-Indo-Iranian *kata- (compare Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬙𐬀-‎ (kata-, “house/home, pit”), Persian کد‎ (kad, “house”)). The direction of loaning is not entirely clear, but most researchers have supported an early loanword from pre-Indo-Iranian into Uralic.

The root may have moreover been a widespread Wanderwort across Eurasia, cf. also e.g. Turkish kodak (“home”), Mongolian хот (hot, “town”), Ainu コタン (kotan, “village”), Tamil குடி (kuṭi, “house, abode, home, family, lineage, town, tenants”).

Noun

*kota

  1. hut, tent, tepee
