Etymology

edit

From 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.
