Etîmolojî (Îngilîzî)

Ji Ottoman Turkish mîras hatiye girtin: كنت

Hevwate bi Old Turkish:

Hevwate bi Northern Kurdish: gund

In summary

From Ottoman Turkish كنت (kent, “village, town, city”), from older كند (kend), from Sogdian 𐼸𐼻𐼹𐼳 (knδh /⁠kand⁠/, “city”). Compare Old Uyghur 𐽷𐽺𐽸 (knd /⁠kend⁠/, “city, settlement”). Possibly cognate with Northern Kurdish gund (“village”). Most likely not related to Finnish kenttä (“field”).
