کودن

• کودنی‎ (kowdani)

From Akkadian 𒀲𒆪𒁷 (^ANŠEku-din /kūdunu, kūdanu, kūdannu, kūdinu/), also Eblaite ...𒁕𒈝 (ku₁₇-da-núm /kūdanum/)[n 1], equated to Sumerian 𒀲𒄊𒉣 (anše-ĝir₂-nun /anšeĝirnun/, “a type of equid”), potentially related also to Elamite 𒆪𒌅 (ku-tu /kutu/, “cattle”). Found in Ugaritic 𐎋𐎄𐎐𐎚 (kdnt, “she-mule”), also passed into Aramaic כוֹדְנָא‎ / ܟܽܘܕܢܳܐ‎ (kōḏnā) / כוֹדַנֽיָא‎ / ܟܽܘܕܰܢܝܳܐ‎ (kōḏanyā, “mule”), already Palmyrene Aramaic and Imperial Aramaic, and Arabic كَوْدَن‎ (kawdan, “a beast of burden, particularly a mule or hinny”), and lastly also present in Middle Persian [script needed] (kōtīna) as the name of a beast of burden, a typical Persian variation as in پودنه‎ (pudene) and related forms.
