I'll try to check it when I'm back from my vac. The suggested
meanings are not quite the same, so it's likely that some
guesswork is involved. I don't know where, in what context and how
many times the words in question occur. The alternation Hittite k- :
Luwian zero is normal in etyma with initial *g^H- (but that makes it
rather difficult to relate the word to Greek kimmerio-).
