коя

Bulgarian

Etymology 1

From Proto-Slavic *kojiti (“to heed”), cognate with Polish koić, Slovak kojiť. Attested mainly with pejorative sense to heed, to soothe > to please one's desires in its perfective form *коя̀вам > куѐвам (with dialectal reduction of unaccented median *-o- > -у-).

In other Slavic languages, the same verb has drifted towards the meaning to nurse like in Czech kojit, dialectal Serbo-Croatian kojiti.
