Noun [German]

IPA: /ˈkaːtə/ Audio: De-Kate.ogg
Rhymes: -aːtə Etymology: 19th century, from Low German Kaat, Kate, from Middle Low German kāte, a late spelling of kōte, from Proto-Germanic *kutǭ ~ *kutą (“shed”), whence also Dutch kot, English cot, cottage. The a-spelling reflects the merger of â, ā, ō into /ɔː/ in most Low German dialects; Standard German /aː/ is analogous. The spelling Kote may have been disfavoured in part because of its resemblence to unrelated Kot (“dirt, excrement”). The word may be of non-Indo-European origin and is perhaps derived from Proto-Uralic *kota; compare Finnish kota (“hut, house”) and Hungarian ház (“house”). On the other hand, compare Old High German hutta, whence German Hütte, Dutch hut, English hut.

The a-spelling reflects the merger of â, ā, ō into /ɔː/ in most Low German dialects; Standard German /aː/ is analogous. The spelling Kote may have been disfavoured in part because of its resemblence to unrelated Kot (“dirt, excrement”).\nThe word may be of non-Indo-European origin and is perhaps derived from Proto-Uralic *kota; compare Finnish kota (“hut, house”) and Hungarian ház (“house”). On the other hand, compare Old High German hutta, whence German Hütte, Dutch hut, English hut.",
