# κοτύλη
## Ancient Greek
### Alternative forms

* κότυλος (kótulos)

### Etymology

Furnée asserted a relation to Latin catīnus (“flat dish”), claiming that the deviation in vowel and formation suggests that they are independent loans from a third party, and adducing κόνδυ (kóndu, “cup”) and κονδύλιον (kondúlion), with the observation that -υλη (-ulē) is a well-known suffix in Pre-Greek.
A widespread wanderword is also probable given Sanskrit कुन्तल (kuntala, “drinking-cup”), कन्दु (kandu, “vessel”), करताल (karatāla, “cymbals”), and other nearby forms.
