Mongolian

[edit]

is it possible that there is a relation to the Mongolian word khund, which means heavy? 96.248.16.204 00:58, 3 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • Possibly, but that would depend in part on the morphology of the Mongolian word. The Korean root here is 크 (keu), and the -n on the end is only a grammatical ending. If the final -nd in the Mongolian is an integral part of the root term, the likelihood of a relationship decreases. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:57, 21 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
