Etymology
editFrom Akkadian 𒀲𒆪𒁷 (ANŠEku-din /kūdunu, kūdanu, kūdannu, kūdinu/), also Eblaite ...𒁕𒈝 (ku17-da-núm /kūdanum/),[n 1] equated to Sumerian 𒀲𒄊𒉣 (anše-ĝir₂-nun /anšeĝirnun/, “a type of equid”), potentially related also to Elamite 𒆪𒌅 (ku-tu /kutu/, “cattle”). Found in Ugaritic 𐎋𐎄𐎐𐎚 (kdnt, “she-mule”), also passed into Aramaic כוֹדְנָא / ܟܽܘܕܢܳܐ (kōḏnā) / כוֹדַנֽיָא / ܟܽܘܕܰܢܝܳܐ (kōḏanyā, “mule”), already Palmyrene Aramaic and Imperial Aramaic, and Arabic كَوْدَن (kawdan, “a beast of burden, particularly a mule or hinny”), and lastly also present in Middle Persian [script needed] (kōtīna) as the name of a beast of burden, a typical Persian variation as in پودنه (pudene) and related forms.
