What's relation between The two Semitic words (kus and kis)?

[Dho ra'aan]

In some Arabian dialects said to vagina is kus ... 😉" kis" is bag used to save seeds and other .
Are there relation between them from etymological roots or just verbal similarity ?.

 

[fenakhay]

They are not related. كيس (kīs | bag) and كس (kuss, kiss | vagina). The first one is from Aramaic and found in Hebrew, Syriac and Akkadian as well. The latter is borrowed from Persian كس (kos), from proto-Indo-European.

 

[Wadi Hanifa]

How do we know كيس is a borrowing and not a cognate?

How do we know كيس is a borrowing and not a cognate?

According to كيس - Wiktionary seems that it's borrowed from Akkadian to Aramaic to Arabic. They provide no further info.

The Hebrew cognate appears in Deuteronomy 25:13 so not likely to be borrowed from Aramaic, not sure about Akkadian. Gesenius says it's from root k-n-s but this may be outdated.

 

[Ali Smith]

I doubt the root letters are k-n-s because in the oldest attested Semitic language, Akkadian, the root letter "n" does not appear: 𒋢𒃻𒉌𒌓 (kīsum).

 

[PersoLatin]

𒋢𒃻𒉌𒌓

Middle & New Persian کیسه/kisé "bag, sack, treasury" is from Akkadian kīsu.

It would also be interesting to know if Greek kystis also found in English cystic and cyst is also related...?

But, Are we considered "sex" word indicate to Persian word "kus" ??

Is kus related with Armenian կոյս guys (virgin girl)?

Probably an Iranian borrowing, but the details are uncertain. Likely from the family of Persian کس‎ (kos, “pussy”). Alternatively, from the family of Classical Persian کوسه‎ (kōsa, “man with little or no beard”).
