köken: From French alcôve f, from Spanish alcoba, from Arabic القبَة. The later final -n and masculine gender in German through association with unrelated Middle Low German koven (“stable, shed, nook”).

Cognate with Kazakh қолтық (qoltyq, “armpit”), Kyrgyz колтук (koltuk, “armpit”), Uzbek qoʻltiq (“armpit”), Uyghur قولتۇق (qoltuq, “armpit”), Khakas холтых (xoltıx, “armpit”), Tuvan колдук (kolduk, “armpit”), Turkish koltuk (“armchair”), Turkish koltuk altı…
