Kop koppa- ( *kuppa- is certainly wanting) had already too wide a ramification in the languages. But in any case, it is conceivable that the assumed genuine word was confused at an early period with a  and  term, and thus incorporated a number of foreign meanings. .

 , see .

 , and, ‘leash,’ from  koppel, kopel, kuppel,  ( and ), ‘tie, connection,’ especially ‘leash,’ then  ‘pack of hounds,’ also ‘band’ generally; from  copula,  also cupla (the latter also ‘couple of hounds in a leash’), whence also  couple,  couple,  koppel, ‘couple, multitude, troop.’

 ,, ‘coral,’ from koralle, , formed from  corallus,  corallium.

 ,, ‘basket,’ from the  korp (b),  chorp, korb ( korbes), ;   korf, , ‘dosser.’ The usual derivation from  corbis is opposed by phonetic considerations, and also by the fact that nouns  in meaning but with differently graded forms also occur; according to   and its gradation  (which see),  krëbe, , ‘basket,’ and hence further   may also be connected with  ( too  karfa, , and körf, , ‘basket’?). It is not impossible that, in addition to an inherited word, the  term was borrowed at a later period;  churib,  churbî, points perhaps to  corbis ( corb); further   (1) seems to be an old cognate of  corbis.

 ', ',, ‘cord, tow-line,’ only, from  corde, cordelle;   koord, , and the   cord, from the same  source, ultimately derived from  and  chorda.

 ,, ‘coriander,’ only, from  coriandrum; in  koliander, kullander, kollinder, from  coliandrum. koriander and coriander.

 ,, ‘currant,’ early only, from  corinthe.<section end="Korinthe" />

<section begin="Kork" /> ,, ‘cork,’ early only, through the medium of  (kork, kurk, , ‘corkwood, cork, stopper’) and  commerce, from  corcho, ‘corkwood, stopper,’ whence also  cork at an early period. The ultimate source is cortex, ‘bark.’<section end="Kork" />

<section begin="Korn" /> ,, ‘grain, corn,’ from  korn,  chorn ( chornes), , ‘corn’ (in  also ‘grape-stone, corn-field, corn-stalk’). kaúrn,, with the variant kaúrnô, ; korn,  and  corn,  koren; common  stem korna-, meaning ‘single grain,’ then also ‘stone' and ‘fruit.’ For the meaning ‘stone’   bęrikorn,  wîn-, trûben-korn, ‘stone of a berry';  korn- and kërnapful ( cornœppel), ‘malum punicum, calville,’ are interchangeable; for the derivative  cyrnel,  kernel, see under. Thus it is probable that there exists a close connection between and, their phonetic relation being similar to that between  and ; for further examples of gradation in nouns, see under. Another graded form of, from pre- gṛnó-m, is furnished by grânum, ‘grain, core’; see ,  to  crates; ,  to  plênus,  lán. Gṛnó is exactly the same as zrŭno,, ‘grain.’<section end="Korn" />

<section begin="Kornelle" /> ,, ‘cornel-cherry,’ even in cornul, cornul-baum, from  cornolium ( cornouille,  corniolo); a derivative of  cornus, , ‘cornel-cherry’;   corntreô,  cornelian-tree.<section end="Kornelle" />

<section begin="Körper" /> ,, ‘body, substance, carcass,’ in the period (13th ) korper, körpel, körper, ; borrowed from  corpus, or more accurately from the stem corpor-, a  cognate of which exists in  from the same source (Aryan kṛp),  hrëf,  hrif, ‘womb.’  (see ) is the  word for   and. “The sacrament of the Church and the elevation of the Host, and perhaps medical art, led to the naturalisation of the word.”<section end="Körper" />

', ',, ‘pure,’ only, from   kâschêr, ‘pure, according to prescription.’

,, ‘to chat, caress,’ from kôsen,  chôsôn, ‘to converse, talk.’ The meaning of the  is opposed to any connection with  chôsa, ‘lawsuit,’ and  causa, causari, for it nowhere shows an indication of a legal origin;  causer, ‘to chat,’ is also derived from , since in  causa,  chose originated. As a native word ( *kausôn) is of uncertain origin; it is certainly connected, however, with  ceást,  cheeste, ‘argument, dispute,’  keuzelen, ‘to caress.’
