Kerasian

Etymology

From Late Middle Kerasian كووْكىن - quekejin, from Early Middle Kerasian كووْكىن - kwekaijin, 'كووْكىن - kwekaijinə, كووْكىنوْ - kwekaijini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from Old Kerasian كۏوكاٰنو - kwekījini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from North Aradeshi kwakisigini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from Aradeshi (ku)kwakisigini ("to descend; to lower; to plummet"), from kwa ("to; towards") + kisigini ("heel; foot").

Notes

For the above Latin-script transliterations, the distinction between ⟨ku⟩, ⟨kw⟩, and ⟨qu⟩ are pronunciation and stress. Effectively, ⟨ku⟩ and ⟨qu⟩ are the same, but are pronounced /ku̯/ and /kw/ respectively. ⟨kw⟩ on the other hand is pronounced /kʷ/. The distinction between ⟨c⟩ and ⟨k⟩ is aspiration. ⟨k⟩ is aspirated: /kʰ/ whilst ⟨c⟩ is not: /k/.

Pronunciation

IPA: /kweˈke.ʤɛ̃/, arPR: kwe-ce-jẽ
