Etymology

From Middle Persian (kwtk' /⁠kōdak⁠/), 𐫞𐫇𐫅𐫐 (qwdk /⁠kōdak⁠/, “young, small; baby”) (whence Southern Luri کۏئک (köak, “child”)), from Proto-Iranian *kawta-ka-, from Proto-Iranian *kawta- (“small, diminutive”), tentatively from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kaw- (“small, diminutive (affectionately)”). Cognate with Persian کوتاه (kôtâh, “short”), کوچک (kučak, kuček, “small”), Avestan 𐬐𐬎𐬙𐬀𐬐𐬀- (kutaka-, “small”), and possibly Sanskrit कुमार (kumāra, “boy, prince”); see the latter for more possible cognates. Compare the Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian կոտակ (kotak, “little, short”), կոտիկ (kotik, “baby animal”), Armenian կոտիկ (kotik), կուտիկ (kutik, “puppy”), Chagatai قودوق (kuduk, “donkey foal”), Arabic كوتي (kūtī, “short person”), possibly also Hungarian kutya, Bulgarian ку́че (kúče, “dog”).
