Etymology: Has been compared with bird names like Middle Welsh cuan (“screech-owl”) and other Celtic words, whence Latin cāvannus (“tawny owl”). Within Greek, one also finds forms with internal velar, like καυκαλίας (kaukalías, “kind of bird”), with which are compared Lithuanian kaukȳs (“kind of bird”) and primary verbs like Sanskrit कौति (kauti, “to cry, hum”) and Lithuanian kaūkti (“to howl, moan”). However, according to Beekes, the word is Pre-Greek, in view of the suffix.
