Proto-Turkic *kend

Ottoman Turkish كند

Ottoman Turkish كنت

Turkish kent

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”).
