Proto-Slavic

Etymology

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.

Noun

*kozà f[1][2]

  1. goat

Declension
