kaušas
Lithuanian
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Indo-European *(s)koHw-ḱ-óm (“bucket”), which Derksen takes as an extension of the root *(s)kewH- (“to cover, hide”). Cognate with Latvian kauss (“cup; ladle”), as well as Russian ковш (kovš, “scoop, ladle; bucket”), Finnish kauha (“ladle”) (Baltic borrowings), and Sanskrit कोश (kośa, “cask, bucket, box”);[1] compare also Armenian կուժ (kuž, “jug”).[2] Despite similar phonetics and semantics, not related to Ancient Greek καῦκος (kaûkos, “cup”) or Irish cuach (“bowl, goblet”).
