κόνδυ

Ancient Greek

Like many words ending in -ῠ (-ŭ), it is a loanword. Furnée compares κοτῠ́λη (kotŭ́lē, “cup”), suggesting a Pre-Greek origin, while Szemerényi refers to late Neo-Babylonian 𒃶𒁺 (kandu, “vessel”) which is considered a West Semitic borrowing from Aramaic כנדא (kandā, “vessel, pot; specifically for wine”) from Sanskrit कन्दु (kandu, “pot”) and ultimately Proto-South Dravidian *kiṇṭV- (“pot”), found also in the forms כַּד (kaḏ), כדא (kaddā), Biblical Hebrew כַּד (kad), Punic 𐤊𐤃 (kd), Ugaritic 𐎋𐎄 (kd), and Ancient Greek κᾰ́δος (kắdos).
