Kie nâvis, ναῦς,  nâus;. With the word,  gôlâ, gôlam, ‘cone-shaped pitcher’ ( ô for au), has also been compared; hence a similar signification might be assigned to the   word. .   ,, ‘gill (of a fish),’ simply, from the   kîm; allied to  chiela, chêla, as well as  cîan, ceón, with the same meaning. Since the forms corresponding exactly in sound with are wanting in the earlier periods, its origin is uncertain; some have connected it with, root kiw (Aryan giw).   ,, ‘resinous wood,’ from kien,  and ,  chien, ‘resinous wood, pine chips, pine torch’;   *kên, cên, , ‘torch pine.’  *kêns or *kizns (  from  mizdô) is wanting; further references cannot be found. also.   ,, ‘wicker basket,’ only, from ;   kiepekorf, , ‘wicker basket, basket for the back,’  also cûpe,  cŷpa,   kipe, ‘basket’;  *kûpjô or *kiupô is wanting. Whether these terms are borrowed, or rather developed, from cûpa, ‘tun,’ and also ‘measure of corn’, cannot be decided.   ',, ‘gravel,’ from the  kis, ; ', ‘pebble,’ from  kisel, , ‘flint-stone, hailstone, large hailstone’;  chisil,  čeosel,  chisel, ‘pebble.’  *kisuls, , is wanting; this would be a derivative of *kisa-, on which  kis and   is probably based. kei and kiezel points to kī̆ as the stem.  ,, ‘to select,’ from kiesen,  chiosan, ‘to test, try, taste for the purpose of testing, test by tasting, select after strict examination.’  kiusan,  ceósan,  to choose. root kus (with the change of s into r, kur in the, see also , ‘choice’), from pre- gus, in  gus-tus, gus-tare,  γεύω for γεύσω,  root juš, ‘to select, be fond of.’  kausjun passed as kusiti into.  ,, ‘small basket,’ simply, in  kœ̂tze, , ‘basket, basket for the back.’ Origin obscure.   ', ', in ‘nocturnal meeting’; wanting in. chwiltiwërch,, ‘evening work’; kveld, , ‘evening’ (in Iceland and  Norway the usual word for evening, while aptann is used poetically and in stately prose). cwyldhreþe,, ‘bat,’ ‘evening swiftness,’ cwyldsęten, ‘evening.’ Hence qeldos, , is the oldest word for ‘evening.’ The loss of the w after k is normal;  , , and.   ,, ‘child,’ from the  kint ( kindes), ,  chind, , ‘child’; corresponding to  kind, , ‘child’; wanting in , , and , but a  *kinþa- may be assumed, whence  čędo, ‘child,’ is borrowed. In a form kundr,, ‘son,’ allied by gradation occurs, and with this an  suffix kunds, ‘descended from,’ may be most closely connected,  himinakunds, ‘heavenly,’ qinakunds, ‘female,’  feorrancund, ‘having a distant origin.’ This suffix is an old  in to , from a root kun, ken, kan, which has numerous derivatives both in the  and non- languages. The root signifies ‘to give birth to, beget’;  and also  kuni,  chunni,  künne,, ‘race’ ( qêns, ‘woman,’  queen, are, however, unconnected). So too cęnnan, ‘to give birth to, beget.’  ken, Aryan gen, has representatives in  γένος,, γί-γνομαι, γυνή, in  genus, gigno, gens, in  žena, ‘wife’ ( gena, ‘wife’), in  gentis, ‘relative,’ and in the  root jan, ‘to generate,’ jánas, , ‘race,’ janús, , ‘birth, creature, race,’ janî, , ‘woman,’ jantú, , ‘child, being, tribe,’ jâtá, ‘son’ (the latter is most nearly connected with  ). <section end="Kind" /> <section begin="Kinn" /> ,, ‘chin,’ from the  kin, kinne,  chinni,  (also ‘jaw’). The older meaning, ‘cheek’ ( kinnus,, ‘cheek’), has been preserved in , ‘cheek-bone,’ in chinnizan,  kinnezan, ‘molar tooth,’  kinnibaccho, ‘jawbone’;   čin,  chin,  činbân,  chin-bone,  kin, , ‘chin’;  kinn, ‘cheek.’   γένυς, , ‘chin, jaw, jawbone,’ also ‘edge of an axe, axe,’ γένειον, , ‘chin, jaw,’ γενείας, , ‘chin, beard’;  gena, ‘cheek,’ dentes genuini, ‘molar teeth’;  gin, ‘mouth’;  hánu-s, , ‘jaw,’ hanavýa, ‘jawbone.’ Hence the meaning varies considerably between cheek, jaw, chin; the  sense of the root gen in this term cannot be ascertained. On account of the meaning ‘axe’ some deduce the word from a root gen, ‘to cut to pieces.’ <section end="Kinn" />
