Proto-Slavic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Possibly polygenetic. Proposed origins:
- For onomatopoiec meaning: From an expressive *čuti, *čьvati (“to bark, to wail”) + *-kъ, parallel to Proto-Slavic *čuxъ (“growl, sniffle”). Per Snoj, probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kew- (“to wail, to shout”), akin to Lithuanian kaũkti (“to howl”), Latvian kàukt (“to yell, to howl”).
- For tool meaning: From Proto-Indo-European *kewh₂- (“to hew”), related to Proto-Slavic *kyjь (“hammer”).
