köken: From Middle High German toter, tuter, from Old High German totoro, tutaro, from Proto-West Germanic *dodrō. The modern form with initial d- and internal -tt- is of dialectal, probably Bavarian, origin.
köken: From ägg (“egg”) + gul (“yellow”). Swedish orthography turns triple consonants in compounds into double consonants, hence "äggula" and not "ägggula."
kumkum, a red powder, made from saffron or turmeric, used ceremonially by Hindu women to make various markings on the body, especially the tilak · saffron
köken: Unknown. Cognate to Serbo-Croatian brnduša, Bulgarian Брендушка (Brenduška), Ukrainian Брендушка (Brenduška), Ukrainian бриндуша (brynduša), which may be borrowings from Romanian. The form may indicate an ancient origin rather than a recent loan.
köken: A wanderword, the immediate source is uncertain. Compare German Safran, French safran, Italian zafferano. Ultimately from Arabic زَعْفَرَان (zaʕfarān).
