Etymology 1

From Proto-Finnic *kato, from Proto-Uralic *kaďa- (“to leave”). Cognates are found in almost every Uralic language, e.g. Northern Sami guođđit (“to leave something, to depart”), Skolt Sami kue´đđed (“to leave smth”), Moksha кадомс (kadoms, “to leave”), Eastern Mari кодаш (kodaš, “to stay”), Udmurt кыльыны (kylʹyny, “to stay”), Hungarian hagy (“to let; to leave”), Mansi хули (huli, “to leave”), Selkup [Term?] (/quəčə-/, “to leave”). Labialization of the stem vowel occurred in Proto-Finnic, compare Estonian kadu (“loss”).
