Kob from. The word had a more general sense, and was not restricted merely to a shed for animals and pigs. Even in the earlier meaning ‘hut’ is found;   kobel, ‘narrow house';  kofi,, ‘hut, penthouse, partition.’ In  the corresponding cofa is specially used as a choice poetic term for ‘apartment, bed-chamber’; hence  cove and pigeon-cove. *kuba, on which these words are based, is wanting. The word is genuinely, as is proved by chubisi ( *kubisi), ‘hut,’ which, from its form, is a derivative of a far earlier period;  also  kober, ‘basket, pocket,³  cofl, ‘basket.’ See  and.   ,, ‘goblin,’ from kóbolt, with the variant kobólt, , ‘fantastic familiar spirit, goblin.’ As the genuinely  household deities, the  may be regarded as  to the  cofgodu, cofgodas, ‘penates, lares’ (unfortunately  *cofold or *cofweald, ‘household deity,’  ‘protector of the bedchamber,’ is not recorded); in  probably *kubawalda-. The first component is kofe,  cofa, ‘apartment, chamber’ (see ). The and  variants  and  may have been *ôtwalt,  *audawald, ‘Lord of wealth’; the old ôt, ‘wealth,’ has been retained only in proper names like,  (,  Edward). For the ending see under  and.   ,, ‘cook,’ from the  koch,  choh(hh);   and  kok, ‘cook’; adopted before the  permutation of consonants, at latest in the 6th  (contemporaneously with ), when the art of cookery and horticulture were introduced from Italy; the word is based on  coquus, or more accurately on the form koko- (  cuoco). The word passed into in a different form —  côc,  cook, where the ô, compared with  and  ŏ, is due to a change of quantity in an open syllable (  and ); on the other hand, the ŏ of the  word is probably derived from the. The earlier word for  is ; an  word for ‘cook’ is wanting. —  , ‘to cook,’ from the  kochen,  chohhôn, from  coquere (more accurately *coquâre?). The word could not remain a ,  because the vowel of the stem differed from the analogy of verbs of that class. In note  cuire,  cuocere. also.  ',, ‘quiver,’ from kocher,  chohhar, , ‘quiver,’ yet also generally ‘receptacle’ with the variants,  kochœre,  chohhâri,  koger, keger, with an abnormal g apparently in harmony with the obscure  kǫgurr ‘quiver’?), preserved only in kǫgursweinn, kǫgurbarn;  kǫgurr, ‘quilted counterpane, coverlet,’ is an entirely different word, and is connected with a remarkable  form , ‘cover.’  cocur,  coker, ‘quiver’; also in  and  quiver, from  cuivre, which is again derived from the  word ( kokro-, whence  cucurum, ‘quiver’).   ', , ‘bait.’ The word, on account of its very varied forms and senses, is difficult to explain etymologically, perhaps several words, originally different, have been combined with it;  köder, koder, këder, korder, körder, kërder, quërder, , ‘lure, bait, patch of cloth or leather,’  quërdar also means ‘wick of a lamp’; in  it signifies, in the various dialects and at different periods, ‘double chin, slime, rag, leather strap, bait.’ With , ‘double chin,’ we may perhaps compare  cud,  cudu, cweodu ( qiþus, ‘belly’?). With the meaning ‘bait,’ qairrus and   may be most closely connected, because quërdar, as the oldest  form, points to a  *qaírþra-; with this the  compound δέλεαρ (δελ- for δερ- may be due to a process of differentiation, since a  form kerdel occurs; and ð, according to  βλῆρ, is perhaps an old guttural, root ger) may be certainly associated, and its variant δέλετρον, which more early corresponds with the  word; the latter form is usually approved, since it combines the meanings of ‘bait’ and ‘torch’ (corresponding to  quërdar, ‘wick’); in either case  cud is abnormal. For the other meanings of the word no satisfactory etymologies can be found.   ,, ‘trunk,’ only, from  coffre.   , . ‘cabbage,’ from the  and  kôl,, with the variants  chôli,  kœle, kœl,  (  chœl, kêl), as well as  chôlo, chŏlo, ,  kôle, kŏle, kŏl, and
