reed

Etymology 1
From, , from , from , of uncertain origin.

Akin to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. No cognates in North Germanic languages, but the existence of an otherwise unattested 🇨🇬 was supposed by the brothers Grimm.

The measuring reed sense is the translation of Akkadian qanûm ("cane") used in the Bible and elsewhere.
