so…Romanian?
It’s “kicchin” in Japanese. I wonder how many other errors there are.
*kegin* or *kegyn* also in Cornish (as in the related Breton).
(Multiple spellings are in use by different groups of learners.)
Today, we have [“Küche” [ˈkyːçə]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/De-K%C3%BCche2.ogg) in Germany.
From Proto-West Germanic **kukinā*, a borrowing from Late Latin *cocīna*, from earlier *coquīna* (“kitchen; cuisine”), from *coquō* (“to cook”), from Proto-Indo-European **pekʷ-* (“to cook, become ripe”).
According to Wikionary, other English terms derived from the Proto-Indo-European root **pekʷ-* are:
* apricot
* biscuit
* charcuterie
* coctile
* concoct
* concoction
* cook
* cuisine
* culinary
* decoct
* decoction
* dyspepsia
* dyspeptic
* haute cuisine
* kiln
* kitchen
* kitchendom
* kitchenette
* kitchen sink
* melon
* pepo
* Pepsi
* pepsin
* peptic
* peptone
* precocious
* precociousness
* precocity
* pumpkin
* ricotta
* spatchcock
* spitchcock
* terracotta
Surely Scots Gaelic *cidsin* is directly from English, rather than via the metathesized Irish Gaelic *cistin*?
Yes, the Hungarian one is clearly a loan from one of the Slavic versions.
Interesting that Finnish, Northern Sámi and Estonian also borrowed it but from Germanic languages. Kildin Sámi borrowed it from Russian.
I would guess the other Uralic languages from Siberia also adopted a Russian loanword.
It seems we didn’t have Uralic word for ‘kitchen’.
