κόγχος

Etymology
. Speculated to be from because of its striking similarity to 🇨🇬, but the phonological correspondence between  and  is irregular. More likely from ; compare the similar words and especially  and its variants, and note the cluster  which is common in Pre-Greek–derived terms. The Sanskrit word may thus be from a related loan source or 🇨🇬.

Alternatively connected to, whence also 🇨🇬 and distorted 🇨🇬, derive (distinguished from the borrowings of  , , , ); for the form-meaning connection compare also 🇨🇬 which is allegedly from  from 🇨🇬 or the present word.
