Etymology

[edit]

Is a derivation from proto-uralic käd'wä possible? I have no formal understanding of etymology as a science, but does anyone have any idea? Sireeni200 (talk) 14:15, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't really work. I think the result would've been something like **katvi (**katvë-), although I don't remember the exact rules for *ä-ä > *a-e. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 15:23, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
