Where this word comes from

From Proto-Finnic *ku (compare Estonian kus, Livonian ku), from Proto-Uralic *ku- ~ *ko- (compare Erzya кона (kona, “which”), кода (koda, “how”), Hungarian hol (“where”), Forest Enets [script needed] (hōke, “which one”), Nganasan [script needed] (kuninu, “where”), Kamassian [script needed] (kāmǝ̑n, “if”)). The nominative and genitive singular forms, which would have otherwise been monosyllabic, have been extended with -ka (as with joka and mikä). Inflected forms in modern Finnish are suppletive, deriving from a merger with ken (see the inflection section).
