κέγκει is hungry 𒅗𒀀𒉌𒅔𒋾 keñkras lean, emaciated काङ्क्षति to desire

noun masculine u-stem hunger From earlier *hunhruz, from pre-Proto-Germanic *kunkr-ú-s, from Proto-Indo-European *kn̥k-ró-s, from *kenk- (‘to hunger, ache’) + *-rós. Cognates with Lithuanian keñkras (‘lean, emaciated’), keñkti (‘to ache’), Ancient Greek κέγκει (kénkei, ‘is hungry’), κάγκανος (kánkanos, ‘arid, barren’), and possibly further with Hittite 𒅗𒀀𒉌𒅔𒋾 (/⁠kāninti⁠/, “thirst”, loc.sg.). Note also strong resemblance with Sanskrit काङ्क्षति (kāṅkṣati, ‘to desire’), though a formal relation appears difficult.
