Word: кость,
Near etymology: -и ж., укр. кiсть, род. п. ко́сти, ст.-слав. кость ὀστέον "кость", болг. кост, сербохорв. ко̑ст, род. п. ко̏сти, словен. kȏst, род. п. -ȋ, чеш. kost, слвц. kоst᾽, польск. kość, в.-луж., н.-луж. kosć.
Further etymology: Родственно лат. соstа "ребро", ср. сербохорв. ко̑ст "ребро" (РJА 5, 371); см. И. Шмидт, Kritik 158; Бернекер 1, 582 и сл.; Педерсен, Kelt. Gr. 1, 85. Здесь предполагают существование и.-е. приставки k- и пытаются сблизить с др.-инд. ásthi ср. р. "кость", авест. ast-, asti-, греч. ὀστέον, лат. ōs, ossis "кость"; см. Мерингер, Beitr. 42; Мейе, Baudouinowi dе Соurtеnау 1 и сл.; RS 9, 74; RЕS 3, 197; 5, 9, Geiger-Festschrift 235; Ét. 262; Перссон 526; Мейе--Эрну 260 и сл. По мнению Мейе (Baudouinowi dе Соurtеnау, там же), это была первонач. основа среднего рода на -i. Миккола (Ursl. Gr. 3, 40) исходит из *osthr̥k-, предполагая метатезу k, что остается сомнительным. Неприемлемо объяснение из лат. соstа от *сохtа -- к соха "бедро" вопреки Видеману (ВВ 28, 15 и сл.; см. Бернекер, там же; Вальде--Гофм. 1, 281), а также сравнение с др.-инд. kī́kasā ж. "позвоночный столб" (Петерссон, AfslPh 36, 137; IF 35, 271) и с др.-инд. kāṣṭhám, kā́ṣṭham "полено" (Погодин, РФВ 32, 273).

Proto-Afro-Asiatic: *ḳ(ʷ)as-
Meaning: bone
Notes: Secondary emphatisation in Sem. Cf. HSED *ḳas- (1557) and *ḳac̣- (1530), a faked root: the Agaw forms show no traces of *ḳ- and go back to Cush-Om *mVḳ-it, where "Warazi" (indeed, Harso and Dobase) miḳeče also belongs, cf. Golango miḳatté, Gawwada, Dalpena maqte, maḳḳe.

Proto-Semitic: *ḳ(ʷ)ayṣ-, *ḳ(ʷ)aṣṣ- {} *ḳ(ʷ)ayc̣- or *ḳ(ʷ)ac̣y-
Meaning: joint, point of connection between bones
Arabic: ḳaṣāṣ-, ḳuṣāṣ-, ḳiṣāṣ- 'endroit du derrière de la tête où les cheveux finissent; endroit de la poitrine où les côtes se rencontrent' [BK 2 746], ḳaṣīṣ- 'poitrine, os de la poitrine' [ibid.], ḳaṣṣ-, ḳuṣaṣ- do. ibid. [745]
Geʕez (Ethiopian): ḳʷǝyṣ, ḳʷǝṣ 'leg, shin, shinbone, thigh' [LGz 457]
Amharic: (?) ḳǝṭay 'joint of foot' [LGur 511]. In [K 828] only ḳäṭṭay 'one who follows' and ḳǝṭṭay 'branch' are attested; according to [LGur 511], from ḳäṭälä 'to attach one thing to another' with l palatalized into y (on "occasional loss of l" in AMH see [LGz XXVI])
Gurage: GYE ḳǝṭǝyä 'joint of foot' [LGur 511]. According to Leslau, from *ḳäṭäla, with a loss of -*l (see comments to AMH above)
Soqotri: míḳṣeh 'articulation, falangue' [LS 381]. A derived pattern; according to Leslau, from ḳṣy 'to cut', which is not convincing semantically. For the same reason, not to be compared to such MSA forms as MHR máḳṣa 'end' from ḳǝṣō 'to end (of a road)' [JM 241]
Notes: Questionable; attested in S. SEM area only. Meanings in ARB, GEz and SOQ rather diverse; S. ETH examples may be of a different origin.
Cf. also ETH: TNA ḳʷǝč̣ bälä 'sedersi, accommodarsi bene a sedere' [Bass 301] and AMH ḳiṭ 'buttocks, anus' [K 826], possibly related.
Cf. *ḳimṣ(No. ).
[Holma 136]: AKK (kimṣu), GEZ; [LGz 457]: GEZ (connection with AKK kim/nṣu, kiṣṣu is refuted)
