Discussion note: a reply to J. A. Matisoff's “a key etymology”
Résumé
This note corrects a Romance etymology for Thai kuncee, Malay kuntji 'lock, key' proposed by J. A. Matisoff in LTBA 1992. The true etymology is Sanskrit, as originally observed by Dempwolff for Malay and other western Austronesian languages.
