Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Old East Slavic кобꙑлъка (kobylŭka), from Proto-Slavic *kobylъka. By surface analysis, кобы́ла (kobýla) + -ка (-ka).
For the semantic evolution “(small) horse” > “bridge of a stringed instrument”, compare to French chevalet and Portuguese cavalete, and further afield, Persian خرک (xarak) and Japanese 駒 (こま, koma).
