köken: Uncertain. Read in Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (kaẟō). In Gilaki کوی (kūī, “gourd; bowl, vessel, stop”), Northern Luri کودی (kodi). Possibly related to Sanskrit कटु (kaṭu, “bitter”), or a variant reflex of کندو (kandū, “beehive; a large clay bin for grain”) extended from Aramaic כּדּא (kaddā), כַּנְדָּא (kandā), from Old Tamil 𑀓𑀺𑀡𑁰𑀝𑀺 (kiṇṭi).
köken: From earlier knolle; first attested in the early sixteenth century. The earliest attested meaning in Dutch is "turnip" (now obsolete, the derived knolraap having become the standard term), which appears to be the result of a semantic narrowing from a broader meaning "bulging protrusion"; compare for example the cognates Old High German knollo (“rocky outcrop; lump”), English knoll (“hill”).

köken: Possibly a loanword related to cucumis (“cucumber”), or to corbis (“basket”), corbīta (“freight vessel”).

Cucumis melo var. utilissimus”), चर्भट m (carbhaṭa, “idem”), चिर्भटी f (cirbhaṭī, “idem”), but the mediation is unknown. Compare Old English hwerhwette.
