Etimoloji

/kemu/ → /kem/ → /ken/ Shift from older けむ (kemu, auxiliary suffix for verbs indicating supposition about the past, including supposition about why something may have happened). This phonological shift was apparently already underway during the Heian period (平(へい)安(あん)時(じ)代(だい) (Heian jidai), 794–1185 CE).
