fur, pelt · the 皮 radical (portion of a kanji character)
köken: Compound of 毛 (ke, “fur, body hair”) + 皮 (kawa, “skin, pelt”). The kawa changes to gawa as an instance of rendaku (連濁). First cited to a work from 1690, but possibly older, considering the mid-1200s appearance of Chinese-derived homograph 毛皮 (mōhi). This kegawa reading appears to have mostly superseded the mōhi reading.
fur (hairy coat of a mammal) · fur coat (coat made out of fur) · match fixing, fix, spot-fixing, rig (bribery or other illegal practices of influencing the outcome)
çekim: çoğul bundák
köken: First attested in 1723. Of uncertain origin. Perhaps from the Old Hungarian dialectal adjective bonta (“black-and-white striped or spotted”), itself of German origin.
animal skin; pelt, fell, hide; leather · human skin · a garment, article of clothing made of skin
çekim: çoğul pellēs · tamlayan pellium
köken: From Proto-Italic *pelnis, from Proto-Indo-European *pel-ni-s (“to cover, wrap; skin, hide; cloth”), from *pel- (“to cover, wrap; skin, hide; cloth”). Cognate with Ancient Greek πέλμᾰ (pélmă, “sole of the foot”), Old English fell (“fell, skin, hide; garment of skin”), likely with English pelt (“skin of an animal”) as well.
