κόνδυ

Ancient Greek

Like many words ending in -ῠ, it is a loanword. Furnée compares κοτύλη (kotúlē, “cup”), suggesting a Pre-Greek origin, while Szemerényi refers to late Neo-Babylonian 𒃶𒁺 (kandu, “vessel”) which is considered a West Semitic borrowing from Aramaic כנדא (kandā, “vessel, pot; specifically for wine”) from Sanskrit कन्दु (kandu, “pot”) and ultimately Proto-South Dravidian *kiṇṭV- (“pot”), found also in the forms כַּד (kaḏ), כדא (kaddā), Biblical Hebrew כַּד (kad), Punic 𐤊𐤃 (kd), Ugaritic 𐎋𐎄 (kd), and Ancient Greek κάδος (kádos).
