Altaic etymology :
Search within this database
Proto-Altaic: *k`ĕsa ( ~ -o)
Meaning: spool, spool string
Russian meaning: катушка, моток, нить из катушки
Comments: Martin (JLTT 441) unites Jpn. kase 'spool' and kase 'fetters, shackles'; the two words, however, are clearly opposed in OJ and seem to have quite different Altaic origin (on *kàsi 'fetters' see under PA *k`ìĺa). PJ *kasai 'spool' surely cannot be separated from PT *K(i)as- 'hoop, hoop brace'; the attribution of PTM *xesi- is less secure: it can belong here if we suppose a semantic development 'spool' > 'spool string' > 'string in net'. altet-prnum,altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-tung,altet-jap,altet-reference,

North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *kɨ̄č̣wɨ̆
Meaning: hook, curved
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. Except for assimilative glottalisation in some languages (which is a usual phenomenon), correspondences are regular. The root must have specifically meant 'hook, hook for fastening > clasp, buckle' (which explains the frequent semantic shift > 'button'). An apparent EC loan is Georg. kič̣o 'meat-hook (of a butcher).

Nakh etymology :

Proto-Nakh: *kōč̣el-iḳ ( ~ -ǯ-)
Meaning: stick with a hook; hook, gaff
Chechen: kȫžalg
Ingush: kožolg
Comments: 4th class in Chech., 6th class in Ing. In the Russ.-Chech. dictionary the Chech. word is glossed as kožalg; in the Russ.-Chech.-Ing. dictionary - as kožolg. The word has an *-l-suffix (with a following diminutive). The suffixless stem is probably reflexed in Chech. ḳāža 'hinge, door-hinge' (with an assimilation ḳ- < k-, as in some other EC languages).

Comments: Cf. also Av. ḳič̣- 'to bend', God. ḳič̣-ĩ id. A quite strange form is Av. (Uslar) kuc 'metallic button' - is it a dialectal form of the same root, modified under influence of kuc 'shape'?

Proto-Tsezian: *kVč̣(ʷ)V
Meaning: 1 hook 2 buckle 3 hoop
Tsezi: kač̣u 3
Khvarshi: kač̣u (Radzhibov)
Inkhokvari: kač̣u 2
Gunzib: ḳɔ̃č̣i 1
Comments: PTsKh *kač̣u. The Gunz. form is somewhat irregular (assimilated ḳ- < k- and unclear vocalism with nasalisation); still it is difficult to separate it from the PTsKh form. We deal, perhaps, in this case with old interdialectal borrowing. The Tsezian languages have some other resembling forms which are still harder to explain phonetically: PGB *geža 'button, buttonhole' (Bezht. Tlad. geža, Khosh. geza 'button', Gunz. geža 'buttonhole'); Bezht. Tlad. gečä, Khosh. geco 'buckle'; Gin. kiči 'ring', Bezht. kiči 'lace-knot'. These are most probably results of contaminations and old interlingual / interdialectal borrowings.

Comment: Cf. also Arch. plur. ḳoč̣-or. Obl. base *ḳuč̣ɨ- (cf. Rut. ḳɨč̣i-, Tsakh. ḳɨč̣ɨ-). 3d class in Rut. and Arch., 4th class in Tsakh. Vinogradova-Klimov (1979, 157) supposed that the word was borrowed from Armenian (k:ǝč:ak: 'button'), but this is unacceptable: the Arm. form has no Indoeuropean etymology and is most probably borrowed from Caucasian. See Лексика 1971, 214; Хайдаков 1973, 93; Талибов 1980, 289.
