Proto-Finnic

Etymology

[edit]

Akin to Proto-Samic *kuoskëtēk (to touch), probably also Komi косны (kosny, (of boat) to touch the bottom) (suggesting Proto-Finno-Permic *koske-, if inherited). Proto-Samic *kuosŋëtēk may also be related in some fashion, though the correspondence *sk ~ *sŋ is irregular.

Verb

*koskëdak (stem *koskë-)

  1. (Northern Finnic) to touch, to be touching
