Etymology

An apocopate derivation from кугуль (“glowing coal, charred log”), as evident by the 18th century attested Imbak Ket kóhil (“coal, embers”); from Late Proto-Yeniseian *kʰu-pʰʌλ (“coal”), most likely derived from Proto-Yeniseian *kuw (“coal”).

Cognate with Yug куфыл (kúfɨl), Kott hupôj, Assan kuvulán and Arin kuburúŋ (“glowing coals”).

Perhaps related to Proto-Turkic *kȫ-ń- (“to burn”) and Proto-Mongolic *köge (“soot, obstacle, hindrance”), however, whether Yeniseian forms are the progenitor or were borrowed from either Mongolic or Turkic forms is not clear.
