Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/kъ(n)
Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *kom or *ku, *kʷom
Compare Sogdian [script needed] (kw/ku, “to”), Sanskrit कम् (kám) (postposition particle, after datives), Avestan 𐬐𐬄𐬨 (kąm, “for sake of”).
Also compare Old Latin quom (“with”), Latin cum, com-, con-, co-, cum-, Oscan com-, kúm, com-, co-, ku-, Old Irish co-, com- (“with”), Gaulish com-, co-. But usually they are derived from Proto-Indo-European *ḱom.
Preposition
Usage notes
Because of the law of open syllables, the final -n was normally dropped. But when combined with a stem that (originally?) began with a vowel, it was attached to the following word.
