Pronoun

IPA: /ku/ [Vedic], /ku/ [Classical-Sanskrit] Forms: ku [romanization]
Etymology: Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *ku, *kū, formed from *kʷ-. Compare Avestan 𐬐𐬏 (kū), Albanian ku (“where?”), and Latin ubi. Related to किम् (kim, “what?”). Monier-Williams theorizes that this was originally an interjectional interrogative word signifying "how (strange)!", which described an oddity or deficiency in something.
