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

*kъ(n)[1][2]

  1. (with dative) to, towards
    Synonym: *do
    Antonym: *otъ

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.
