Etymology
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 333: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "psu" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀓𑀼𑀢𑁆𑀢 (*kutta) which is possibly from Proto-Indo-Aryan *kúttas, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *kúttas (compare Proto-Iranian *kútah), possibly of onomatopoeic origin, which could imply a Wanderwort instead of inheritance from Proto-Indo-Iranian. Compare Sanskrit कुर्कुर (kurkura), कुक्कुर (kukkura), perhaps also onomatopoeic.
