casegmarešankùsnimble
nounmasculinea-stemhorse, stallionFrom Proto-Indo-European *ḱanḱestos, *kankestos (‘horse’), with further analysis rather uncertain; the word appears to trace back further to a root *ḱenk- (‘to gallop, move agilely’), though the morphology is not exactly clear, and may be cognate with Lithuanian šankùs (‘nimble’), as well as Welsh caseg (‘mare’) and Persian خنگ (xeng, ‘gray horse’). Compare also *hanhaz (‘heel’).
