Kib ἄγνος; this being associated with ἁγνός, ‘pure,’ gave rise to the agnus castus; agnus,  ἄγνος, being confused with agnes, ‘lamb,’ led to , one of the strangest products of sciolism (not of popular etymology). The tree is also called, kuischboom.   ,, ‘lapwing,’ with numerous forms varying at different periods; they are all due to a corruption of a term the etymology of which was not understood; in  also there are several forms; gîbitze, gîbitz, gîbiȥ occur in the written language. The similarity in sound of the  čibezŭ and of  kîvit,  kievit,  peewit, suggests the assumption that  is of onomatopoetic origin. The suffix resembles that in.   ,, ‘chick-pea,’ from the  kicher,  chihhurra, chihhira, ; based on  cicer ( cicera), , ‘chick-pea,’ cicera, , ‘chickling vetch';  cicoria, cichorea, which would be most closely allied phonetically to  chihhurra, signifies ‘chicory ( κἴχώριον). chiche, chiches, chickpeas,, with the suffix r wanting as in  chiche,  cece. The term was borrowed before the period ( sisererwt is more recent).  ,, ‘to titter,’ only; allied to  chihhazzen, ‘to laugh,’ a variant of  chahhazzen ( kachzen);  also  kah, , ‘loud laughter,’ and  kachen, ‘to laugh loudly’; the ch is not based, as in other instances, on  k, but following  ceahhet an, ‘to laugh,’ on  hh. The cognates are onomatopoetic, the root of which cannot be discovered. In similar terms were coined, καχάζω, καγχάζω, καγχαλάω, καγχλάζω, ‘to laugh loudly,’ καχλάζω, ‘to splash and bubble.’ On account of the non-permutation of the consonants the terms cannot have been  allied. The words may, however, be cognate with  kakh, ‘to laugh.’  , see.    (1.),, from the  kiver (,  ?), kivel, kivele, ‘jaw, jawbone,’ besides which there is a form from the stem of ,  kiuwel, , and usually kiuwe, këwe, , ‘jaw, jawbone.’ Yet  kiver, kivel, have, notwithstanding their rare occurrence, a remoter history in the past; with  *kifru- is connected  kjǫptr, kjaptr ( *kiftus), ‘mouth  (of beasts), jawbone,’ and also with the a stage of gradation,  ceafl,  kafl, , ‘jaw of animals’ (with regard to the gradation  , , and ). The stem is therefore kef, kaf, or rather keb, kab (before l and r later permutations of b to f sometimes occur), from pre- geph or gebh;  Zend zafare, zafra,, ‘mouth, jaws’ (the corresponding term in  *japhra, *jabhra, is wanting); the nasalised root jambh, by gradation jabh, ‘to snap at,’ leads to  γαμφαΐ, γαμφηλαί, ‘jaws,’ yet these are probably connected more closely with the cognates discussed under. See.

 (2.),, ‘pine,’ early only; it cannot be traced further back; in   simply. Hence probably originated in  (respecting the obscuration of old compounds , , and ). The intermediate form kimfer is recorded as North. also kienboum,, ‘pine,’ and *kienforhe, , ‘pine-tree’ (attested by the derivative kienforhîn, , ‘of pine’). and.   ;, ‘foot-warmer,’ simply from the   kîke, in  ildkikkert, ‘foot-warmer.’ Of obscure origin.    (1.),, from the  kil,  and , ‘quill’; not recorded in ;   , pointing to  kîl;  quiele, kiel, is connected with  quille,  quill. *qilus or, *qeilus, and further cognate terms are wanting.    (2.),, ‘keel,’ from kiel,  chiol, , ‘a rather large ship’;   ceól, , ‘ship,’  kiel,  keel,  kjóll, , ‘ship.’  kjǫlr, , ‘ship’s keel,’ is not allied to these; from this the  word as well as the  meaning is probably derived (probably through  and  influence). The *kiuls (the assumed  form), ‘ship,’ may be connected with  γαυλός (γαῦλος), ‘merchant vessel’ ( ‘pail,’ also ‘articles in the form of a pail, e.g. beehive’); au would be  iu, as in ,  stiurs, compared with  ταῦρος. The fact that a term was  common to both the Teutons and the Greeks is no more remarkable than the occurrence of the term  among the Teutons and the Romans; besides, the terms relating to shipbuilding stretch still further back, as is proved by the correspondence of <section end="Kiel" />
