Origin: IE [Indo-European] [626] * ku(e)s- `kiss'

Etymology: To the aorist κύ(σ)-σαι the present κυ-νέ-(σ)-ω (for athem. *κυ-νέ-σ-μι?) seems to have been shaped with nasal infix (Schwyzer 692). Good agreement shows Hitt. kuu̯aš-zi, - anzi `kiss'; thus the Germ. word for `kiss', e.g. OHG kus, kussen, which as sound word escaped the Lautverschiebung. (Elementary cognate is Skt. cumbati. Mayrhofer KEWA s. v., Pok. 626, Feist Vgl. Wb. d. got. Spr. 315; s. also Schrader-Nehring Reallex. 1, 668ff.
