Proto-Italic

Etymology

Despite seemingly phonetically similar terms in other Indo-European languages such as Middle High German hatele (goat), Old Norse haðna (young goat), Serbo-Croatian kot ((time of) having young, litter, breed), dial. Polish kót (place where forest animals young), Russian око́т (okót, lambing time, litter), De Vaan doubts a Proto-Indo-European origin, and implicitly assigns these words to a common substrate origin.
