köken: Borrowed from Latin gemellus, from geminus (“twin, paired”), (compare French jumeau, Italian gemello, Portuguese gêmeo, Romanian geamăn). Compare mellizo, melgo, mielgo, inherited from related roots. Compare English gimbal.
köken: From Proto-Finnic *pohkëda + -e, derived from Proto-Uralic *počka (whence Erzya пукшо (pukšo, “rump, thigh”)). The verb shares its root with potka; the root with -hk- goes back to *-šk-, which has split irregularly from *-čk- (which developed into the -tk- in potka). The same split is also seen in puhjeta, putkahtaa.
köken: From Bavarian Wadl, from German Wade (“calf”). Suffixed with -i to resolve the word-final consonant cluster, compare cetli from Bavarian zettl or German Zettel (/ˈt͡sɛtl̩/) etc.
