Proto-Altaic: *k`ằkú
Meaning: doll
Russian meaning: кукла
Comments: Дыбо 15. Cf. Khalkha xǖxeldej 'doll' (a contamination with xǖxe-n 'child, girl'). One should also mention WMong. qoduɣu-čin 'clown; mask': this may be a metathesis < *kogu-du- ( = PJ *kùnkùtú) and the form may actually shed light on the mysterious Karakh. qoδurčuk (quite probably < *kog-du-rču-k = WMong. qoduɣu-čin). {Cf. PE *kǝɣina- 'face'}. altet-meaning,altet-rusmean,altet-turc,altet-tung,altet-kor,altet-jap,altet-reference,

Comments: VEWT 220, EDT 587, 606, ЭСТЯ 6, 161-163. Modern reflexes point quite clearly to *-g- (less probably - *-b-), so the attested form with -δ- must be a phonetic aberration. Interference with OT qoduz 'femme s{eu}le' (suggested in Tekin 1969 and ЭСТЯ ibid.) is not excluded, but cf. also the notes below. turcet-prnum,turcet-meaning,turcet-rusmean,turcet-krh,turcet-trk,turcet-tat,turcet-chg,turcet-uzb,turcet-uig,turcet-trm,turcet-krg,turcet-kaz,turcet-nogx,turcet-bas,turcet-klpx,turcet-qum,turcet-reference,

Proto-Japanese: *kùnkù-tú
Meaning: a k. of doll
Russian meaning: вид куклы
Middle Japanese: kùgùtú
Tokyo: kugutsu
Comments: JLTT 462. In OJ kugutu is attested with the meaning 'satchel worn at the belt'; JB derives it from kugu 'a k. of grass' and suggests that dolls were carried in such satchels. Even if it they were, it is highly probable that the name of the satchel is derived from 'doll', and not vice versa; the connection with "kugu-grass" is highly dubious. japet-prnum,japet-meaning,japet-rusmean,japet-mjp,japet-tok,japet-comments,
