I could see that Marathi koti could be derived from PIE *k^mtom, but
in order to make such a claim, one would prefer to list some dozen
words, or the like (as in the case of Bangani) which follow the same
sound-laws in their development from PIE. I feel more doubtful towards
Hindi karode. What do the etymological dictionaries of Marathi and
Hindi have to say about them?
