\data\sinocauc\basqet
Proto-Basque: *kaiku
Sino-Caucasian etymology: Sino-Caucasian etymology
Meaning: wooden bowl (used for milking sheep)
Bizkaian: kaiku
Gipuzkoan: kaiku
High Navarrese: (Esteribar) kaiku
Lapurdian: (Ainhoa) kaiku
Baztanese: kaiku
Comments: Michelena (1961) and Trask (1995) try to derive this word from an obscure Latin word caucu-, which seems historically unlikely for this lowly shepherd's implement. Furthermore, the development of Lat /au/ > Bsq /ai/ is only eastern (e.g. ZBR, RNC gáiza ‘thing’ < causa, which is gauza in the West), and kaiku is attested mainly in the West.
