There are interesting expressions in Czech with
meaning of:
1. horse: ku:n^ < OS *kon'I < IE ??? or a
loan? (often linked to kobyla and komon^, but unclear)
2. rip,
mare, hack: kobyla < OS *kobyla < IE ??? or a loan? (often linked to
ku:n^, komon^ and Gk. kabálle:s, Lat. caballus, but unclear)
3.
horse (archaic): komon^ < OS *komon'I < IE ??? or a loan? (often linked to
ku:n^, kobyla and Lith. ka¨manas "bridoon, bridle" < IE *kem- "squeez"
etc.)
Any ideas?
Can anyone help? Any IE or Non-IE
cognates,
parallels?
