Proto-Italic
Etymology
Despite seemingly phonetically similar terms in other Indo-European languages such as Middle High German hatele (“goat”), Old Norse haðna (“young goat”), Serbo-Croatian kot (“(time of) having young, litter, breed”), dial. Polish kót (“place where forest animals young”), Russian око́т (okót, “lambing time, litter”), De Vaan doubts a Proto-Indo-European origin, and implicitly assigns these words to a common substrate origin.
