Etymology

Probably borrowed from Sogdian 𐼸𐼻𐼿𐼷𐼸 (kncyk, “young girl”), diminutive of 𐼸𐼻𐼿 (knc, “girl”). Some anaylse it as *kan +‎ *-čïk, however considering the root is unattested and the suffix would have been *-čük at the time, this is unlikely.

Compared to Proto-Tungusic *kačikān (“puppy”) by Altaicists however that is likely a borrowing from Turkic.

Noun

  1. (Common Turkic) bitch; both in the sense of female dog and a promiscuous woman.
    Hyponyms: *ït (“dog”), *köpek (“dog”), *tülki (“fox”), *bȫrü (“wolf”), *kūrt (“wolf”)
