Kuc  ,, ‘cake,’ from the  kuoche,  chuohho, ;   kôke,  koek. Besides these forms with old ô in the stem ( cœ́čil,  kêchel, ‘little cake,’   keech) there occurs in the  and  languages an apparently graded form with a —  cake, and the   kaka,. This gradation seems to point to a origin of the cognates, yet their relation to the  class (Catal. coca, Rheto- cocca, Picard. couque, ‘cake’), connected with  coquus, coquere ( côc,  chohhôn), is not clear. Moreover, on the assumption that the word was borrowed, ô in chuohho would correspond exactly to the ô in  côc, ‘cook.’   ,, ‘pasque flower,’ only, interpreted from one of the variants ,  as ; its relation to the   coquelourde is obscure; the  form is certainly a corruption.   ,, ‘chicken,’ only; a  and  word introduced by Luther into  (in   hüenli, West  hünkel,  luggele). To the and  küchen, küken, correspond  čŷčen ( čŷcnu),  chîken,  chick, chicken,  kjúklingr,  kieken, keuken. The  termination -îna- (*kiukein) frequently occurs in the names of animals,  gait-ein,  tiččen ( *tikkein),  hêčen ( *hôkein),  ‘kid’; see, , , , and. The on which the word is based is  cocc,  cock,  kokkr (to which  *kiukein,, is related by gradation). There is no reason for thinking that the word was borrowed from  —  coq, like  cocc ( gockel, gückel), is a recent onomatopoetic term also, for  and  cog, ‘cuckoo,’ points also to the base cucâ (so too  cúach, ‘cuckoo,’ from coucâ). .  , see.  ,, ‘cuckoo,’ from the late  kuckuk (rare), ; the usual term in  is gouch, which was introduced in the 15th  from  (koekoek, early  cuccûc). An onomatopoetic term widely diffused, but it is not necessary to assume that it was borrowed in most of the languages, cuckoo,  coucou,  cuculus,  and  cog, Or. cúach. See also.    (1.),, ‘runner of a sledge’; *kuofe and *kuoche are wanting with this meaning, so too  *chuofa;  chuohha is found, however, in slito-chôha, ‘runner of a sledge’ (see examples of the interchange of k-ch and p-f under );   kôke, ‘runner of a sledge.’ Perhaps  żágrė, , ‘forked piece of wood on a plough,’ is allied, and also its cognates żáginýs, , ‘stake, post,’ żágaras, , ‘dry twig.’ From these the evolution of meaning in  may be inferred.

 (2.),, ‘coop, vat,’ from the  kuofe,  chuofa,. The form of the word previous to the  permutation of consonants is represented by  côpa,, and the   coop. From côpa, a variant of cûpa, ‘cask,’ whence  kuip, ‘coop’;  also. The word must have been borrowed before the 7th, since it has undergone permutation in ; perhaps it was introduced with the culture of the vine.   ,, from the küefer, , ‘cooper’;   kuiper,  cooper.   ,, ‘ball, bullet, globe,’ from the  kugel, kugele, ;   and  kogel. The word is not recorded in the other languages. It is allied to, from kûl, kugl, and also to  , with which  cudgel and  cyčgel is closely connected;  is a ‘pole with a ball-shaped end.’  and  cannot possibly be related by gradation.   ,, ‘cow,’ from the  and  kuo, ;   kô,  koe,  cow,  cû,  kýr,  ( *kôs);  type kô-, , ‘cow.’ This word, like the names of other domestic animals, is found in the non- languages, and in the form of gō̆w (gô) it is common to the Aryan group;   gâus ( gâm), ,  βούς (stem βοϝ),  bos (stem bov-). These terms are both and, hence  gâus, , ‘bull, cattle,’ , ‘cow’;  βούς, ‘cattle, ox, cow’;  bos, ‘ox, cow’;  gůws, ‘cow.’ This term, like other  Aryan words ( , , , , &c.), proves that the Aryans, before the division into the later tribes, were already acquainted with domestic animals. <section end="Kuh" /> <section begin="Kühl" /> ,, ‘cool,’ from the  küel, küele, , also a regularly <section end="Kühl" />
