Bertoldi compares Calabrian coscu, cuoscu (“young oak”), Sicilian cosca (“cabbage stalk”), cismontan Corsican cuscogliulu (“scrap or shell of a chestnut”), Gallurese cuscugia (“dry branches”), Logudorese cuscudza (“grain sweepings on the threshing-floor, kindling for a fire”), and Berber aqešquš (“small twigs kept for sparking off fire”), and Basque kozkil (“left-over chestnut twigs or shells”), koskor (“small person”), kuzkur (“acorn”), kuskul (“bent of age”), koskor (“plant leftovers”), koska (“sottishness”), and therefore Latin quisquilia (“mixed-in twigs or stalks; odds and ends”), leaving open possible Aquitanian or Berber connections. In other words, probably loaned of a substrate term.
