Proto-Finnic
Etymology
Akin to Proto-Samic *kuoskëtēk (“to touch”), probably also Komi косны (kosny, “(of boat) to touch the bottom”) (suggesting Proto-Finno-Permic *koske-, if inherited). Proto-Samic *kuosŋëtēk may also be related in some fashion, though the correspondence *sk ~ *sŋ is irregular.
Verb
*koskedak (stem *koske-)
- (Northern Finnic) to touch, to be touching
