Etymology

From the Middle Persian ancestor of, it is said, Classical Persian ‎ (kudang), ‎ (kodanga, “fuller’s beetle”), but ‎ (gazina) also has this meaning, and the Arabic poet’s locus is vocalized with fatḥa in the first syllable by some editors. For the second vowel discrepancy compare ‎ (pudena) and related forms. They also mirror the mid consonant variation in Classical Persian ‎ (kōtang, “washer’s beetle”) and ‎ (kūtak, “cudgel, club, pestle”), ‎ (kotak, kotk, “club, short stick for grinding, pestle”), Pashto کوتک‎ (kōtak, “cudgel, club, pestle; a wood for washing clothes”). Further there are relations with Khwarezmian [script needed] (ckwndyk, “hammer”), [script needed] (ckwnd-, “to hammer, to forge”), [script needed] (ʾkwnd-, “to beetle, to waulk”), and one has to adduce Ottoman Turkish كوتك‎ (kötek, “bat, cudgel; beating, cudgelling”), Azerbaijani kötək (“wooden rod, bludgeon, cudgel; beating therewith”) and Tatar кутак (qutaq, “male member, willy”). Note also Persian ‎ (kažak, “hook or crook; crooked stick […]; wards of a lock”), ‎ (kaža, “hook or crook; a piece of wood so placed as to prevent a lock from being opened”) which explains the inauspicious Russian кута́к (kuták, “door latch”), apart from the known кута́к (kuták, “willy, hot rod, hammer, ramrod”).
