កើត

Khmer
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Old Khmer កេត៑ (ket, “to issue, to emerge; to be born; the east”). from Proto-Mon-Khmer. Cognate with Temne ked (“pregnant; to cause, to bring about”), Khmu [Cuang] kəːt, Halang kòt (“be born, be pregnant”). See also Thai เกิด (gə̀ət), a Khmer borrowing.
The sense "east" was probably originally "the place where the sun rises" or "where the sun was born"; compare Thai ตะวันออก (dtà-wan-ɔ̀ɔk, “east”), Temne kedʔis (“east, "birth of the day"”), Khasi mih'ngi (“east, [where] the sun rises”).
The same analogy of "to be birth" can be made for the sense "day of the month during the period of waxing moon".
