Albanian edit

Etymology 1 edit

Theoretically from Proto-Albanian *kākta, of uncertain origin; potentially akin to Lithuanian koktùs (“disgusting”) via Proto-Indo-European. An older hypothesis connects it to Ancient Greek κότος (kótos, “rancor, grudge”).[1]

Adverb edit

kot

  1. worthlessly
  2. in vain

Adjective edit

kot

  1. worthless
  2. pointless

Etymology 2 edit

From Proto-Albanian *kāta, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kHtos (“shade, shadow, darkness”). Compare Old Irish scáth (“shadow”), Ancient Greek σκότος (skótos, “darkness”), Sanskrit छत्त्र (chattra, “umbrella”), English shadow.[2]

Noun edit

kot m

  1. darkness

Dutch edit

Etymology edit

From Middle Dutch cot, cote, from Old Dutch [Term?] cota (in place names), kota (“little house”), from Proto-Germanic *kutą, *kutan (“shed”), probably of non-Indo-European origin, but possibly borrowed from Uralic; compare Finnish kota (“hut, house”) and Hungarian ház (“house”), both from Proto-Finno-Ugric/Proto-Uralic *kota. However, compare Dutch and English hut.[1]

Cognate to English cot, cote, German Kate.
