## Hausa
### Etymology

Of unclear origin. Clear cognates of the same meaning within Chadic (e.g. Karekare kyéézì, Bade kâzá, Ngizim gā̂za, Ngamo gā̀zâ, Bole gājà, Duwai kīzhìya) may be the result of diffusion, rather than inheritance. Perhaps borrowed from Kanuri kájì (“guinea fowl”) or a Berber language, e.g. Tamasheq ékăz (“rooster”).

## Latvian
### Etymology

Apparently borrowed from Russian коза́ (kozá): note that the words for “male goat” and “female goat” in Latvian are non-cognate (āzis and kaza), unlike other Baltic languages (Lithuanian ožỹs, ožkà; Old Prussian wosux ([vōzuks]), wosee ([vōzē])), which suggests that an earlier Latvian term, perhaps *āze (apparently present in place names like Āzes), was replaced by the borrowed kaza.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: [kaza]
* Audio:(file)

### Noun

kaza f (4th declension)
* goat (esp. Capra aegagrus hircus)
    mājas kazas ― domestic goats
    kalnu kazas ― mountain goats
    kazu vilna ― goat wool
    kazas bārda ― goat beard
* female goat
    kazu piens ― goat milk
    kazu siers ― goat cheese
    slaukt kazu ― to milk the goat
* (colloquial) unruly, flippant, frivolous girl or woman

* kazlēns
