Reconstruction:Proto-Uralic/kota

Etymology
Probably akin to 🇨🇬 (compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), in which case it is a loan in one direction or the other, but the direction is not entirely clear. Many researchers have supported an early loanword from pre-Indo-Iranian into Uralic, but this is not certain, as the Iranian word has no known cognates in Indo-European, not even Indo-Aryan. The similarity may simply be a coincidence.

Moreover, the root may have been a widespread Wanderwort across Eurasia; compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (🇨🇬), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. Borrowings from Iranian (specifically Scythian) include 🇨🇬, (whence 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬) and 🇨🇬.
