köken: From Old Galician-Portuguese cova, from Vulgar Latin *cova, from covus, alternative form of Latin cavus (or from a variant of Late Latin cava, from cavum, cavus), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱówHwos (“cavity”). Compare Spanish cueva.

köken: Inherited from Latin monumentum. Compare Aromanian murmintu, Sardinian morimentu. Doublet of the borrowing monument. The /n/ to /r/ phonetical evolution is due to rhotacism which existed in some dialects of Old Romanian.
köken: From Old Hungarian ſyher (šiɣer), from Proto-Finno-Ugric *čikere. First attested in 1055. According to the New Etymological Dictionary of Hungarian it is of uncertain origin and the Finno-Ugric origin is incorrect for chronological and phonological reasons.
burial mound, grave, tomb · a place for burning funeral pyres (with human remains interred at or near the site)
çekim: çoğul bū̆sta · tamlayan bū̆stī
köken: Backformed from compounds of Latin ūrere, ū̆stum (“to burn”), via metanalysis of amb-ū̆stum as am-bū̆stum, which also led to combūrō. The interpretation of the word was thus "place for burning things around" > "place for funeral pyres" > "burial mound", whence later senses of "upper torso" in descendant languages. Compare also the etymology of the related Italian bruciare (“to burn”).
