*kutą

Runic: ᚲᚢᛏᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈku.tɑ̃/

noun · neuter · a-stem

Meanings

tent, stall, shed, hut

Etymology

Origin uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gewd- (‘to stretch, curve, vault’).

Alternatively, of non-Indo-European origin, but possibly borrowed from Uralic; compare Finnish kota (‘hut, house’) and Hungarian ház (‘house’), both from Proto-Finno-Ugric/Proto-Uralic *kota. However, compare Dutch and English hut.
