köken: From Middle High German kugel(e), of unknown origin. It is not clear whether Middle Dutch coghele, coeghele (modern kogel) is a cognate or rather a borrowing from High German. In the former case it would require a Proto-West Germanic *kugulā. Possibly related with English cudgel, from Proto-West Germanic *kuggil, a derivative of Proto-Germanic *kuggǭ (“cog, swelling”), whence German Kogge…
a small ball made of earthenware, glass (marble) or a similar hard material; of steel in a ball bearing; sphere · a testicle · a bullet
çekim: çoğul kulor · tamlayan kulas
köken: From Old Norse kúla (“lump, swelling”), with the meaning of "sphere" influenced by Middle Low German kule (“depression, bulge”) and German Kugel (“ball, sphere, bullet”).
köken: Coined by Finnish physician and translator Wolmar Schildt in 1835 as a shortening (perhaps back-formation) of the dialectal terms ympyriäinen, ymmyrkäinen (“round”), ultimately from ympäri (“around”). The -ä- in ympäri- has turned into an -y- in these derivatives and thus in ympyrä as well, probably by influence from the preceding sounds (labial ymm-, ymp-). Arguably analyzable as ymp- + -yrä.
