Talk:кад

The Komi кад («time») is quite similar to Indo-Iranian words for «when» (e.g., Ossetian кӕд), which isn't too surprising considering that a load of Komi words come from those languages. Are these two terms indeed related? Determinant666 (talk) 22:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Lytkin doesn't say anything about this in his etymological dictionary, and I couldn't find any paper discussing it. Maybe knows more? Thadh (talk) 00:21, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem impossible, probably at least better than the comparison with obsolete Hungarian, that appears in UEW but is mostly treated with suspicion in Hungarian etymological dictionaries (or in Csúcs 2005). I have seen also a recentish, 00s I think, claim for loaning from (some dialectal variant of?) Russian , but digging up a reference for this could take a while. --Tropylium (talk) 01:45, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
