Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Borrowed from Scythian *xata, from Proto-Iranian *kátah (compare Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬙𐬀 (kata, “room, hut, cellar”), Persian کده (kade, “house”), Middle Persian 𐭪𐭩𐭪𐭲 (ktk' /kadag/, “house”)).
A possible Wanderwort, see Proto-Uralic *kota (compare Finnish kota (“hut, house”) and Hungarian ház (“house”)) for more.

* -asъ is the expected Balto-Slavic form but is found only in some Old Czech documents; -axъ is found everywhere else and is formed by analogy with other locative plurals in -xъ.
** The second form occurs in languages that contract early across /j/ (e.g. Czech), while the first form occurs in languages that do not (e.g. Russian).
