Etymology

Unknown. Perhaps derived from Proto-Yeniseian *kajš (“foot”) + *kawn (“belly”), in light of the latter part of the compound being attested as kaŋ. For the first part of the compound, compare Jie 劬禿當 (*gju.thuwk.tang /⁠*got-o-kt-aŋ⁠/, “They will catch him.”, literally “his foot, they will take”).[1]

Noun
