كندوج

See also: کندوج

Arabic

Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (kndwg /⁠kandūg⁠/), whence Persian (kandu, “a large clay-vessel wherein grain can be stored; beehive”), (kanduj, “id.”), (kanduk, “capacious jar as for grain”) for the semantic development of which compare Latin capistērium. Cognate to Parthian [Manichaean needed] (kndwg /⁠kandūg⁠/), Ossetian хӕндуг (xændug), хӕндыг (xændyg, “fence-structure to dry grain”) and Classical Syriac ܟܱܢܕܘܩܳܐ (kandūqā, “large grain-jar”), Ancient Greek κόνδυ (kóndu, “goblet”), Old Armenian քանդուկ (kʻanduk, “clayen grain bin”), Chagatai [script needed] (kündük, “water-jug”), Kipchak [script needed] (kendük, “flour-jar”), Iranian borrowings. Apparently via extension from Akkadian 𒃶𒁺 (kandu), Aramaic כַּנְדָּא (kandā), כּדּא (kaddā), as also in rare Arabic كَدّ (kadd), from Old Tamil 𑀓𑀺𑀡𑁰𑀝𑀺 (kiṇṭi).
